What's your favorite activity on online social communities?

You may not believe this, but I enjoy antagonizing and instigating.

Oddly, I do believe it.

when I have nothing important to do at work I can make myself look busy reading and answering questions. Not that anyone at work cares what I do but it at least makes me feel busy

I like spreading the lurve.

I like the friends I’ve made who are of the same mindset as I am, on vampirefreaks.com It’s a much more personal site.
I use myspace to contact musicians.

And I use fluther for things i need to know or discuss. You can’t really get to know anyone on here. It’s more impersonal (limited profiles etc).

I like seeing how many ways people spell definitely so that gailcalled can add to her list which she then shares, at times, with me so that in the end I get a great big chuckle.

That’s really pretty sad, Sueanne.

When I tell jokes around my friends nobody understands them with the invention of community boards now hundredths of people don’t get them either.

@asmonet I like spreading the lurve too.

@Suanne: That’s awesome.

@deaddolly: I disagree, I think you can get to know a lot more about a person on sites like these, considering the wide range of topics and the propensity to engage in debate the members here so clearly have.

@asmonet NO, you only know some of what a person’s about. On other sites you find out much more and can communicate and keep track of friends much, much easier. I can tell you on here, who’s in my fluther, but I can’t tell you if they live near me or how old they are. Here, you know only what ppl want you to know.

@deaddooly: You mean sad in a kind of happy way?

@Dolly; I have made several really good friends here and know, like and trust them. I can tell you where they live and how old they are, what their hobbies are, their family structure, what they dislike, and that they all can spell “definitely” correctly and prerer to write out “people.” One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

The phonies and liars are usually discovered through the intelligence and detecting skill of the collective, I have found, on balance.

And to be fair, I repeat that I have some close family here.

@ gail I will not point out how to spell “prefer” to you because it has nothing to do with your post.

I’m glad you have friends here; I do as well. Tho this site is much less personal that other sites. The ability to include information in your profile is limited. I prefer sites that are more open to finding out how a person lives their life. This is not a site for that; granted, you get bits and pieces about PPL, but it’s in your head and out the next minute.

Everyone has their own opinion. Spelling errors mean nothing to me. It’s what the person is trying to say that matters to me.

DD; good catch on my typo. You seem to have lots of negative things to say about fluther. Why hang around if you have more fun and more friends elsewhere? The site is what it is, for now, at least, and for better or worse.

@dd: Everyone, everywhere on the internet only tells you what they want you to know, that’s not restricted to Fluther. knowing someone’s physical location tells me nothing about who they are, I have a friend who lives down the street from me, I don’t know what the hell she thinks about abortion, I know a helluva lot of people’s opinions here. I also have friends of all ages, I don’t think age matters either.

I also think that the restriction of personal information is a benefit to the Fluther community. It allows those subconscious little judgments we make based on limited information to just plain not happen. You’ve mentioned on many occasions that you have what would be considered an alternative lifestyle, maybe people who wouldn’t normally give you the time of day have overlooked their prejudices to see what you had to say instead, albeit unwittingly. Maybe after discovering such information about you they might be inclined to reconsider their values? I know at least one person on here who has done just that.

Did something happen a while back? Ever since the regime/regimen/regiment discussion it seems like you’re posts have become very bitter. I apologize if that seems mean, but, I think the tone of your post’s have changed dramatically. And what’s so hard about ignoring their corrections of your post when you suggest they ignore your mistakes? What’s up?

In the future, though it may have been unintentional on your last post you might want to consider phrasing your rebuttals a little more gently, just yelling NO well, it made me almost just ignore the rest.
