Do you consider a poster's history when reading/replying?


No, I read each post as if it was the person's first.

Maybe, if I remember the person, it might matter.

If I remember the person, of course it matters.

Oh hell, if I don't remember the person, I do a search of past posts!

None of it matters at all. I am only here for entertainment.

Status: offline 		I look at a person's posts as getting to know them. There are several here that are sarcastic and funny, but new folks who are reading them for the first time get all up in arms about them and start posting things that are anywhere from stoopid to inflammatory. There are a few here that I have on hide because their early posts were just plain offensive, and trust me, I don't offend easily. There are many that I haven't hidden (yet) but just skip right over them in the thread because yelling at the computer screen simply scares the kittehs. I have not taken the ones off hide to see if maybe they grew up or changed any, only because I don't care if they have or not.......attitudes tend to be set in stone with some of these folks.

I don't post a lot, usually I'm lurking and just reading, but every so often, I'll stick my .05 worth in. There are alot of folks that I respect here, and while I may not comment, agree with them more often than not. The current OP is one of those. And she has a kitteh, so she can't be all bad!

but I dont speak to them (the ones I disagree with ) outside the forums - thats just begging for a missunderstanding & a fight.....

... the ones I agree with alot I ask to be friends with.....one can never have too many friends!

How much of it is prior posting history vs the filters we all see things through would be an interesting thing to study, if it was possible to do so.

Status: offline 		Ummm...maybe?

I'm pretty used to how some people post, what they have to say, etc. If I saw them act in a way that was out of character I might want to ask them something about what changed.

An example of this would be if littlewonder showed up one day and started ranting on an ask a dom topic about how she wants to beat the blood out of her S.O. and then her S.O (yes I am avoiding saying his name,I have this weird feeling something bad will happen if I do hahaha) showed up and started ranting about how he wants to be her bitch. Yeah it would so change however I was going to comment on whatever the topic was to begin with.

Someone not out of character though. Someone acting as they normally do....nope.

Status: offline 		Checking someone's posting history?? I have never even thought of doing that. I am just not that invested in what other folks have to say unless they are personal friends. My post count sure as hell isn't due to any deep sharing! Mostly lulz and blithering, and that's the way I like it!

I am happy to say that whenever there's a necro thread and I get to read my five year old posts, they're virtually the same as what I would say today.

Status: offline 		I cannot say I search for posting histories but is I know the poster's style I do take that into account. Some posters curse constantly and that is their style of writing. If you are seeing it for the first time you might be offended. I tend to be pretty easy going. Though telling me I said something, when I did not say it can get me riled up sometimes.

Status: offline 		Yes, it matters what a person's posting history is whenever I see a new post by them and it colors my reaction to it. It seems rather disingenuous and naive to me to take people as new entities with every interaction- where is the value in learning from the past then? If someone shows me who and what they are repeatedly, then I will take them at their word. Past knowledge of someone is a large body of information to turn one's back on and to do that seems rather idealistic rather than realistic. How would we have even survived as a species this long if we didn't look for information in every area of life and store it to be used again? So people are doomed to keep eating poisonous mushrooms? Or get into relationships with abusers? What the heck, of course I'm going to use what I learn no matter if it is about people or when to cross the street.

I'm not in grade school anymore, I don't look at the world in a starry eyed romantic way, I hold people accountable for their actions instead of wasting my time with unrealistic nonsense. Isn't this how the world works in general? Do we all get clean slates every day? No. Why should a message board be any different and what would the rationale be for letting people escape the personal responsibility they have of making sure they represent themselves in a manner that they are held accountable for?

I can see how my sons would have turned out if I'd told them each morning that they weren't held accountable for what they'd done the previous day. That I wouldn't let my previous knowledge of them color that day's perspective- so basically they could do anything and just start over the next day. What a mess that would be.

Status: offline 		i think i can give new people the benefit of the doubt when posting again after a first stupid post (be that whatever context it's presented in). however, there are certain people on all sites that i just roll my eyes at. there is one on here particularly that i can virtually guarentee how it will go, and it's never good.

there are people whom i know i will probably agree with, and those i know are just going to be argumentative twats. i'm very much the type of person that can debate with people in one thread and then leave it there and be ok with them in another tread. however, i find that some others are just too childish to do this, and so i tend to avoid them. i have only blocked one person because everything was troll fodder, and i just couldn't be arsed with them anymore. those who can't bebate their point without bleating 'you're now being blocked!' are just pathetic though.

if people come back under another name i don't think it takes long for them to revert back to their normal obnoxious self no matter how much they try.

i will have to disagree with you just a bit. you aren't that unique. in fact, i'm hard pressed to invent some small points of disagreement with most of your posts. i could have just as easily written many of your posts, and had very similar reactions and would analyze and approach it similarly.

I am not at all sure what you mean by co-heart so I will not respond to it. I've never heard of a co-heart.

co-heart means two things that go together, used in the blood industry and i'm sure other scientific endeavors.

as an example of your OP in considering how someone has behaved previously, you often join in out of the blue (weren't part of convo) to agree with someone who just happens to be disagreeing with me; and never the opposite, not once. i know we must agree on many things, since i've chimed in multiple times to agree with you, just in the last few weeks. i keep telling myself you're a bigger person than that, but wait for the evidence.

so me calling you their co-heart was a neutral way of describing you joining in to agree with someone who's disagreeing with me. this is all fine, sometimes even welcomed, but ultimately, a bit tiring.

It is obvious you see things a great deal differently than many of us do.

this is more of what i mean. so now it's a "great deal differently", and "many of us". well, i must be some fucked up freak misfit and a terrible person. woe is me ;)

bwa hahahaha, you're fun.

EDIT: lol, just noticed, the first thing i did was to compliment LaTig on this being a great top post. so, by her logic, she must also see things a great deal differently than many of us do. bwa hahaha, i love when they try and use the royal "we".

pss - notice, LaTig gave up on the i'm "instructing others how to post" schtick.

assume it's going to be "another one of those types of posts" when I see certain names,
I am not without hope that they may one day alter the image I have of them.

This goes for both good and bad first impressions, though I think it's much easier to
hold someone in the negative light they arrived in as opposed to changing your opinion
of someone who was initially thought of in a positive manner.
