blackwolf99 -> Responding vs Reacting (7/23/2005 10:35:35 PM)

Is it just me or are there basicly two types of people that reply to posts

Those that respond - answering the from a logical, thought provoked state of mind

Those that react- answering from an emotional state of mind


I have noticed this in many various arenas, just curious as to the populace thoughts on the subject





PrincessinLatex -> RE: Responding vs Reacting (7/23/2005 10:38:13 PM)

Interesting question. . . .but I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Sometimes my disgust. . .or delight prompts me to make a *cough* logical reply.

I would have to agree with Princess. I try to avoid purely emotional responses (I don't want to be more than half-crazed), but I have to take some kind of interest in the topic before I will respond.

Posts which are simply rhetoric or venom tend to annoy me. (although some are truly funny)

FirmFare -> RE: Responding vs Reacting (7/24/2005 2:15:26 AM)

I'm right there with the rest of you, I need to feel some interest in the topic but try with everything within me to reason my position before responding.

I think there is a third type, those that will say things just to get attention.

great topic blackwolf

thank you :)



goldencat -> RE: Responding vs Reacting (7/24/2005 5:55:22 AM)

And then there's the fourth type...those who are always rude and sarcastically respond to the opinions of other posts in the tread.



smilezz -> RE: Responding vs Reacting (7/24/2005 6:27:57 AM)

Welllll...i sat here for 7 minutes trying to figure out what to say.....see, i have not had near enough coffee yet, and so i leave without a sense of any real reply other than...........

Happy Sunday y'all........

I think it depends on the issues being discussed. And the person's feelings on such. Some subjects don't invoke as passionate a responses as others.

There is a third response as well. Those who think the world is a joke.

Myself, I was a new person at one time too. I'm still learning so usually when I ask a question I want an answer. Not a bunch of people laughing because I am asking. Or sarcastic comments.

The questions being posed anymore since the board has been around a while. Most questions have been asked numerous times. So, some make jokes..or are sarcastic when answering where perhaps a year ago would have answered in a different fashion.

I try to keep emotions out of it...so far no post or response has ever angered me in any way.
