Are there any subjects that you do not get into on Fluther?

I try to avoid politics, but sometimes, someone will ask a question in a way that sucks me in. There are some private areas of my life that I won’t mention, because its’ no one’s business on here. the answers I give concerning cannibalism are all tongue-in-cheek and not to be taken seriously.

Only when it comes to intimate details of a personal relationship. Other than that, I’ll talk about anything.

I am very open about details of my life, but try not to expose too many of my friends and familys secrets and problems.

As we’re allowed a second account to go anonymous as far as that goes I ask my personal questions on that. I try not to get into too much about what’s going on with me outside of the private messages.

Well, I’ve definitely told people some more detailed in-depth information in PMs that I would not put out in the open on the main site. I wouldn’t discuss sexual details or anything like that. I also wouldn’t talk about “gross” things too much, but other than that, I’ll pretty much talk about anything. I don’t have any big secrets or any topics that I fear to discuss. In PMs, I just might go into more detail about something I mention on the main site.

Now, there are topics that I’m sick of arguing about and I tend to avoid them because they go nowhere, but I have talked about them in the past and I may talk about them again in the future.

I avoid talking about things I know nothing about.

Animal husbandry.

@The_Compassionate_Heretic have you ever been the husband to an animal?~

Counter-intuitive though it may seem, I have actually restrained myself on certain subjects. (Scoff if you like, it is true.)

There are many topics I avoid because they a plain boring, but I also like to leave homosexuality on the sidelines. Obviously I don’t mention details of my relationship and anything that may identify me in real life either.

I’m pretty much an open book. Nobody knows me personally on Fluther, so it doesn’t bother me if people know certain private things about me and my life.

@PsychedelicZebra I’m not going to get into that.

I try to avoid stupid stuff

I try to not to ask stupid questions.

I go through phases. Sometimes I’m just sick of debating one of those topics that will never, ever be settled. (Religion, sexuality/gender, politics…) But then other times, someone really just needs to be given some factual information, and that is hard to resist.

Science and Math. Absolutely clueless.

I try to speak eloquently and meaningfully on subjects where I have vast knowledge and experience.

Which means I don’t usually have a hell of a lot to say, heheheheh

@DrBill I am learning to follow your example. Thanks for being my mentor.

There isn’t any particular topic I won’t discuss (unless I know absolutely nothing about it), but I use an alternate account to discuss things I’d rather my teenagers (2 of them are members) not see.

Sure. I try to keep the reins taught on myself when it comes to talking about my current <3 interest because he is not a jelly, knows nothing about the fluther dynamic and is a more private person than I.

Some of the IT technical questions don’t grab my interest or the ones that are very regional and encompass regions I have never been and know nothing about.

Like others have mentioned… repetitive questions that end up being an endless debate with no conclusion lose my interest rapidly.

Random new questions that I have either wondered myself or are mostly original grab my attention for a look see.

Of course. Some things are way too personal.

Lately I have ignored serious health questions, because I have little expertise, and I think people should be talking to a qualified professional about health-related concerns. If it’s something minor and immediate like treating sunburn, no prob.
