Disrespect permeates.
I had been afraid this would happen and over the years it seems it just gets worse. Maybe I just grew to expect a lot of people(taking things deep rather than as a forum game) after seeing it CAN be different.
Igrok - do not take 'em seriously and keep doing your own thing at the usual hangout.
Some items are just not worth bothering.
Things always feed back. If all you get for attempting to help or participate will be negativity or instant dismissal, then that simply ceases. We all get what we want out of stuff, and when we favor FunFactory(some posts are reminiscent of a day at Kindergarten rather than of a professional exchange of opinion) rather than forexforum.co.za that is what they will create.
And when the sole reward for effort is ridicule, well, there's not as large a essential masochist around who will go for this long term.
It occasionally seems we increasingly and always work towards kicking out those that really have items of value, but can not stop growing the numbers of people that have gimme gimme attitudes, kewl posts, powerful morphing troll powers and immense art. . .on demo.
IMHO that is neither in the spirit of a subject oriented forum(FF generally), nor in the spirit of something that's ironically even assumed to be it is upper echelon(1kT).
It is more than a bit. . .ridiculous at times.
Particularly when I see that a few people do not even care to even try to post here because they understand the type of responses they will get about something they've done for a living for x years today.
Again - we'll get what we ask for with our behaviour in toto.
