1 - I was only musing why you would research the online activity of this site. I bet the owners don't even do that! ( but they should).
2 - The sign on the bar is pealing and hard to read. Most of the neon stopped working years ago. a few neon tubes are barely working, seemingly flashing a warning to stay away.
3 - Inside, the bar is dirty and dingy, the beer is flat, the glasses aren't clean, but nobody gives a damn.
4 - Just like that faded , beat up old corner bar, this forum is not a good place to spend a lot of your time.
5 - The trolls are analogous to the nasty drunks at the dive bar.
6 - The bartender is too drunk and/or burned out to toss them.
7 - The pettiness and gloom will infect you."
1 - As I stated, I was curious. And you don't know for a fact that they aren't doing their best to get everything up and working. They're probably pulling out their hair to get it done and all some can do is complain. I, for one, am grateful that it's as good as it is. 'Some' is better than 'none'!
2 - I see none of that! All I see is a piece of home calling me in to enjoy whatever might be inside. The only mice in the walls are the few trolls that come out looking for a few nibbles. (To take or give.) Admittedly, the "owners" could put out a poison pellet or two, but I expect they have their reasons for not doing so. It's their decision, not ours.
3 - You've got to be out of your mind! I was brought up below the tracks and spent my childhood in homes, some causing me to learn, and oft times to enjoy, fisticuffs. I have, over the years, learned to appreciate the small favors given to me and to somehow show it in whichever way I could. (This being the way today!)
4 - And yet, here we both are, me in appreciation, you complaining. If we find we don't enjoy where we are, all we have to do is, as Judge Judy would say, "Move!"
5 - And if the bartender won't give the problem the boot, the patrons have the right to "ignore" it.
6 - None of us know that the bartender is even a drinker and perhaps there's a darned good reason why he doesn't take drastic action for the situation, whatever it might be.
7 - The only pettiness and gloom in my opinion is the soothsayers that show up on the forum, bringing in darkness, trying to shut out the light.
All that being said, I'm truly sorry if I'm reading you wrong, but I have a very good feeling about this forum and would love to see it become home to those of like mind. It's given an answer to several problems I've had electronically and, as far as I know, I've had no complaints about "dumb" questions. Having been brought up in a mostly negative childhood environment I appreciate it greatly. I try to see the sunshine beyond the ominous dark clouds. (In this forum they're called "trolls".)
