I’m backing out of here for a while because:
1) Its planting season
2) My daughter is home from college for the summer so I will be CDing much less.
3) I have to do some thinking about being here at this site.
I have noticed something that bugs me. When someone posts a thread here and people respond, something unique happens. When the poster asks a question, they get a lot of helpful suggestions. If the poster tells of an experience, they get a lot of support. BUT if a poster asks a question AND tells of an experience in the same thread, their question is usually overlooked and are given loads of advice on what they did or didn’t do right with their experience. Like trying to solve the posters problems with little regard to the question they asked.
I’ve been told repeatedly that there is a difference between a guy and a girl when they talk. A guy’s goal is to solve a problem and move on. A girl likes to talk and have someone just to listen to them, nothing else. I see the guy and girl side of people in conflict in several thread replies here. I have done it too.
Just something I’ve noticed. Feel free to comment. I have some thinking to do.
