Seems to me there’s some self-esteem issues in people’s real lives, so they come here to try to exert some kind of control over someone else to make themselves feel better.

I'll display my ignorance here. I ain't skeered.

If the topic is weather or cars or a movie or whatever and someone tosses some unrelated statement in it, it may be funny, it may be stupid, whatever, it will "usually" die organically simply by the next post that IS on topic.

The pissing match and the calling out is just gas being tossed on a fire that was about to die out.

Just my .02. Personally, I don't care what gets posted in my threads UNTIL the pissing match starts. Before that if it derails, it must not have been interesting enough to discuss anyway.

Putting the effort into bitching about something that barely affects you is harder than ignoring it.

If you do that, then you have a "control issue", which is a "self-esteem issue".

Sending a PM would not have allowed all those who feel the same to chime in on the subject as evident with the amount of thank-yous under certain posts, as well as those posts themselves.....for which I thank-you all. It's not just me.
