ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady They are college girls playing silly games with other college kids. They are busy people who in all likelihood have better things to do than spend hours of their own free time conduct surveys for some thread on the internet. Their willingness to do so is admirable. Their "surveys" are meaningless, and I've no doubt they are aware they have no scientific merit. Comes across more as a sorority hazing game. If you think so, you are welcome to conduct a survey of your own, and share the results. The merit that they have is to provide some level of objectivity to discussions that would otherwise be based solely on idle speculation. But by all means, if you think you can do a better job, go for it. However, everyone has said the same thing for what? Sixteen pages now? Explaining and re-explaining to the argumentative. Because all agreed that while we may not agree with it, it was the involvement of others that was distasteful and improper. No, ALL did not agree that involving others was distasteful and improper. As a matter of fact, many agreed that it WASN'T, provided that the people being involved weren't embarrassed in any way. It wasn't unclear, yet for sixteen pages, it was made to seem so. Personally, i think many of the arguments, on either side, had merit. i thought it was a good thread for that reason. It really isn't worth the time because it is, after all, not a search for understanding, but just another game to be argumentative and keep asking questions. Like the kid in the back of the car screaming every 10 seconds, "are we there yet?" In the past, i have seen threads that seemed to have no other purpose than to provide an excuse to trade snark, make fun of others, and engage in pointless argumentation. I do not think this thread fits that description. pam This'll about do it
