I've watched this thread on overweight bdsm women go like the energizer bunny and several other posts that were intelligent and weren't designed to flip people's triggers just die of lack of response.

Status: offline 		Sad but accurately true Missturbation.  I've also noticed a few threads I was involved with that were quite active so long as I was arguing with someone, yet when I and the person I was arguing with found some common ground, the thread would suddenly die.

Often makes me feel like most here don't want to learn anything, they just want a forum version of the Jerry Springer show.  A bit disheartening since its the good discussions and exchange of knowledge I enjoy the most.  I can quite live without the Jerry Springeresque circus.

Status: offline 		or have a completely valid question for a newbie and get flamed like "how dare you ask US the 'true' people a question? (gorean board, sorry) thats so annoying, sorry I dont feel like reading 20 books that arent even in print!  Do not get me wrong, there are some I have seen on the gorean board (i.e. Ironbear) who's opinion I greatly appreciate, but others are just freaking rude and nasty for no damn reason.  Why is everyone so angry?  Whats the point in being nasty to others when they have done nothing to you?  If you dont want to answer a post, dont, but like the old saying goes, if you dont have something nice to say....

Status: offline 		I usually avoid threads that get over 5 pages, I figure that if they are that long already there is some flamefest afoot so I usually do not even read the thread. I was just trying to read that thread mentioned in the OP and gave up outta boredom. I do not care about how many BBWs there are in the lifestyle.. why should I if I am not sexually interested in them? I will say that there can be good discussions, it all depends on who is posting on that particular day.

so so true!  i have also found that if 100 posters before me couldn't work it out, they aren't really going to care if i can.

Oh, I dunno, juliaoceania, I just ate half a pint of ice cream while reading the last 10 pages of the fat submissive thread,  lol.  <wanders off to read the emotional masochist thread>..........

That if it doesnt bring controversy then it dies out.Very very sad...

I think I posted in the larger bdsm Women once maybe twice,To post more than that would make Me guilty of continuing a thread I see no purpose for.Butttt thats just Me.

There are those that only wish to argue rather than have an intelligent conversation where they may learn something.

You basically answered your own question.

Generally speaking, threads that appeal to the emotions tend to be longer-lived than threads that do not appeal to the emotions. Weight happens to be an issue that appeals to the emotions.

However, I'm not suggesting that the Overweight BDSM Women thread was intentionally designed to flip people's triggers.
