How do you feel about the quieter members of SH?

They have nothing better to say?

What about those members who literally don't say much, if not anything at all. It's a little weird if you ask me.

You post on their threads and all you get is a rave, or nothing at all and I'm not speaking about SHs who ignore and skip over most people's opinions - I'm talking about the members who even when asked for a little 'certification', you get nothing more than a rave or a simple one sentenced reply and in my case, that's pretty much the occasional thing they do...

Am I the only one here who notices that?

NB//: The members who I'm specifically pointing towards are one of the most active thread makers on this site - don't confuse a quiet persona with the category I'm speaking of.

    I understand that but I was only wondering what would be the true reasons to behave in such a manner.
    It's not bothering me though and I won't harass these folks just for the fun of it.

    Well, I guess I am one of those people...
    You don't hate them, do you?

    Hate? Nah - that word's too strong to describe how I feel about them... and I'm sure you're not the type of person I've described. It's more like "why are you acting funny?"

    What I've noticed about these people is that they refuse to carry on conversations, at all costs - everytime I asked anyway. Plus I hardly see them responding to their own threads.
    You don't fall under this, do you?

    I, personally, come here to kill time and get other points of view. I don't feel the need to write novellas on polls that, in the grand scheme of things, don't mean anything. Sometimes, all that is required is a one syllable reply and/or a rave. And I don't take offense when others feel the same or differently.

    I respectfully agree.
    It's not like you continuously create new threads every two hours or so...

    they may like to read more opinions and learn from them. God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth just so we can listen more than we talk.

    And 2 hands to not blatantly ignore insults directed right at you - which happens quite often here.

    Think of it this way: you ask the person a question that would normally be returned with a reply that usually starts off a conversation, but instead of replying, that person will instead rave. Doing so everytime signals to me that something's going wrong somewhere...

    The quiet ones are probably plants taking notes about the ones who speak their mind about political issues. Most likely they flood the place with safe generic questions to try and keep us dumbed down. Who cares about the new world order when the world is dying to know your favourite colour or whether you think some entry level blonde in FHM is hot or not, right?
  • Greatki... strange... 2012/05/09 21:01:47

    Interesting perspective. It's all possible, but the topic here has little to nothing to do with politics, you see.

    I'm not sure what you mean? Some stories get like 500 comments, there is no way they can keep up. I know what you mean. Sometimes maybe they just miss the reply, that happens sometimes with SH, or other times maybe they just don't feel like answering. LOL Who knows.

    And/or they're too too busy thinking up of new threads to post.
    ...It makes me wonder why would someone post threads if they don't care of the opinions it'll receive.

    Sometimes I feel like one of the people you are describing. Perhaps they/we want to hear what you have to say, and don't feel like responding to every post. Or get overwhelmed by how many responses they got.

    I guess it's easy for people to not get my point, but who I'm really describing 'isn't' the type of folks like yourself or those with better things doing....

    Ok I'll give an e.g:
    Me: So how was your day?
    Quiet guy: *raves*
    Me: Hey look I'm gonna go spam your profile with pics, does that sound cool?
    Quiet guy: *raves*

    I'm not saying it bothers me but it is an interesting topic for SH to see, you must admit.

    Looks like there'll be one less SH on my friends list.

    And if they NEVER give any real feedback, then I just stop answering their questions.
