Why don't you participate in Co-Ed discussions?

Like a few other have said, I am somewhat of a shy person. A wallflower if you will. If I come across a topic I find interesting I usually post a comment. That said, I tend to think of the eccie boards as a treat that I allow myself to have for one reason or another.

But don't you think if more of the wall flowers posted, specifically threads with subjects, that there might be more you would find interesting?
I know a lot of times I see people bashing threads for being lame, but they've never started one?
This is a serious question and not an attack.

You're correct they often do wander.

But I still think people like yourself are the SOLUTION.
New blood.
The thing I've found about posting is it's hit or miss.
Sometimes they are successful, others fail.
But like everything in life it's the way we learn

....Disagree with the self appointed board rulers and become instant target. Just waiting to see if and when other pack members join in. Being a target? Ok sure. Been there done that! I don't give a .... about who is targeting me on a hooker board. I'm going to participate if I want to.


Thanks for the perfect example that was needed. Your intent was to pick it apart but in doing so you've proven the post to be accurate. Well let me offer you a more positive viewpoint. People who i rarely see posting have posted here. I have a feeling there will be more to come, here and in other threads. No need to be such a pessimist. I like my blankets fresh scented, warm, and DRY; thank you!

OP This is why more viewers don't participate Wussieeeeees! J/K . Originally Posted by Windinhishair

Unfortunately cliquish people don't give respect until you have proven the right to have it. Cliquish people usually make you earn respect. They usually test you a bit.
It's typical human behavior. I understand how for shy people this would be a deterant for wanting to post. Most prefer the easy way (I know I do, but I am often up for a challenge).

Often times i see newbie Co-Ed posters get the "who the fuck are you? do you even know what you are talking about" type answer. Some get scarred off and some reply humbly and keep it pushin'. The trial and error of integrating yourself into a group is not easy but can be done.

I voted but my choice was in default. Mainly its because I can't stand drama and/or people who are full of themselves. Some people I think spend WAY too much time on here and I can't stand how a great thread turns into some kind of bashing. smh Originally Posted by Laura Lynn

Being quiet has its upside....

"Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt..."

-King Solomon, Abraham Lincoln, or Samuel Clemens, but that's a debate for another thread (which I won't start).
