[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes</i> <br /><br />In recent months we have had a proliferation of topics not even closley related to railfanning or railroads. I really don't mind a thread about Katrina because it so greately has impacted this country, its transporation system, its economy, and countless lives. Katrina is world-wide news. It is something that haunts our waking moments and will for a long time. However, threads of an extremely personal nature probally should not be started here in the trains forums. Do we really need to know WHEN you brushed your teeth, or if you didn't? Do we, as a forum, really need to know your personal business when you would be better off consulting a lawyer or perhaps the police? Does a majority of the forum want to know who you are dating and problems with that courtship on a daily basis? Do the forum members enjoy threads where one member accuses another member of such 'n such, and calls him "on the carpet?" <br /> <br />I come to the forums for entertainment, not gossip ! ! ! I wi***o see and read topics about railfanning, trains, and the railroads. There are a number of ways in which these items may be effected--Katrina has shown us that. However, I sincerely doubt that your personal life greatly effects railfanning, trains, and the railroads to the extend that the forum would want to hear about it, nonetheless have its own thread. <br /> <br />This idea was somewhat thrown about a few weeks ago. Judging from recent topics/threads we need to bring it up again. Please don't feed the trolls. They just continue to post more ridiculous and nonrevelant topics -- such as those many of us didn't come here to see in the first place. <br /> <br />If you see a ridiculous and nonrevelant topic, don't post in it. Just ignore it and soon it (and hopefully they) will go away. <br /> <br />Please join me in the search for meaningful and revelant topics (which I hope is just around the corner). Until then, PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />yea, lot of discussion about politics, has nothing to do with anything relevant to this forum, I've participated to, and I apologize for it
