Superficiality?

Smileless2012

I think there's a good mix of serious and light hearted threads.

Yes, there is. What is a serious matter causing distress, perhaps sleepless nights, and anxiety to one person might seem mundane, trivial and nothing to make a fuss about to others. This makes us who we are, individuals with varying strengths and weaknesses experiences the highs and lows that life throws at us. Perish the though that we might be the be the source of superficial nonsense!

Like husbands snoring?

Do you mean serious as in discussing weighty topics with facts and figures, in depth reviews etc., or do you mean serious as in people baring their souls CountessFosco?

* I think that should be lightening the mood, but I can't get too serious about spelling.

I'm sure some of my more frivolous comments aren't always appreciated, but what harm does a little lightning the mood do? I am VERY serious about décor, fine foods, animals ? (and the environment).
I would be nothing other than serious if a poster were suffering or discussing major tragedies,(Ukraine, floods, fires etc.) A time, a place.
Personal indults are definitely the death of many interesting threads.

Fanny???

Indeed, Annie.

I didn’t think a thread about snoring was serious

I mostly agree, CountessFosco. Most of it is superficial, and if it's serious, it ends up in an argument with personal insults getting slung around.

A shame. This site is a great resource, but at times, it's like being at school.

Yup

Personal insults are so boring

As are derailing threads by people pushing their own agenda on to them because they don't understand boundaries and think themselves too special and important to respect them

Things are quiet at present. What do you have in mind? Start a thread!

A Philosophy forum was suggested but never appeared.

We've often had interesting threads over the years on philosophy, religion, education, and many other serious subjects.
Just start them.

Well, come on then, start something deep and meaningful…
Honestly, what a ridiculous thread. I’m sure you are so much more higher minded than us plebs with our base concerns…

Oh yes, we're far too frivolous!

Perhaps if you start some serious threads, CountessFosco, you might get some serious answers.

I think did give a serious answer on your Snoring thread, I think, although it was rather startling to read the heading.

Although I read many of the more serious threads, they often get very heated; too much for my liking, so I tend not to jump in.

I come here for lighter chat and entertainment, as well as a moan every once in a while.

I find that there are few posts that interest me but we are all different in our passions, likes and dislikes. There are some threads I do enjoy and others I just ignore!
