Jumping to conclusions


There are sure some grumpy people here in blog land who like to read other peoples answers and grouse about them to a point of being down right rude.

One thing I find is that they do not take time to read the whole answer and think about it. They scan what they want, miss some words or don't know the meaning of others, and jump to a conclusion.

It is like in a test and many get the wrong answer because they do not read the question. Many instructors(myself included) at the start of a test will say as they hand out the test, "read all the freaking question".

Logic is not the strongest suit in SFF in my experience.

How right you are Rentier, a lot of people are out of their Vulcan minds.

I always enjoy your blogs dinty. You say it how it is. Many I miss coming in here and am fast losing interest. Some that I meet on FB dont come here any more. I dont know how people can hate others that they have never even met. I dont agree with the way this site has been run recently and i do miss a lot of the members.

Thank you Robyn, you are so kind to say so. I also enjoy your blogs.

I'll often read a blog, think that I understand it, and go on to read the comments....which in a lot of cases have nothing to do with what the blogger was saying.

I do back and read the blog again, figuring that I'd misinterpreted it....nope!

Some folks have an agenda and use every blog possible to push it...imho.

I agree with mrsjoe about jumping to conclusions being the only exercise some people get....LOLOLOL.

You are exactly right Dinty.. people bring their frustrations on here and they always have something to say!

They judge you even they do not know you!

Happy Easter Day!

I hit your profile by mistake and now I hate you(just kidding), how come you take such good photos, you look great in every one of them. Me I always look like my drivers license photo, grumpy and 10 years older.

Thanks for your posting.

Dinty - I'm afraid that aggression is rife in the blogs nowadays and has been for some time. Some readers and commenters just don't seem to be able to enjoy a blog or a comment if they can't criticize it.

Alfie...

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Hey Hawkmister I hear you. It is like rocketship said, I read a blog and think I understand it then I read the comments and some of them are so off topic and rude. It is great to have an opinion but keep it civil and on topic.

Thanks for the input Alfie.
