Popular Post Upgradable Posted May 31, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 There has been a distinct change in atmosphere here at DV over the last three weeks or so. There has been speculation as to why this has occurred, from other sites closing down, to lack of movement on the reval front. Whatever the cause, I have certainly seen two distinct types of posts lately, the IQD investor personally interested in being here to share information and excitement (or even frustration) at the situation in Iraq. The second is the poster who seems to have nothing to contribute to this community, but is strictly engaged in posting drivel and inciting others to confrontation. Adam has made clear that DV is an open community, and he is not interested in moderating with a heavy hand and feels strongly about giving everyone a chance to benefit from absorbing the info shared here. And I respect the reasoning behind his choice. However, that leaves us, the members of this site, to keep things moving in the direction that we want! Complaining or taking the bait are not constructive!! Ignore or shut down the trolls, quit taking offense at every little slight, that's what they want!! Be the bigger person, continue to converse with those who want what you do and ignore the creatures. Look inside and decide what you want DV to be, and by your own actions, make it that place! When enough of us take this approach, the cockroaches will have nothing left to feed on and will move on down the road. Whatcha say?? 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magawatt Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Maybe we can do some forum judo. Reacting to a toxic post is what excites and incites more toxic posting. Starve them of the attention they feed on and they'll go back to gawking at roadkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upgradable Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I agree, as long as they're not causing the road kill!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent idea megawatt, lately I have folowwed my grandmothers advice " if you can't say nothing nice, don't say nothing at all"! Keeps things on an even keel!

I guess you are also a part of the majority and fail to see his attack on democrats, hence dem caca roaches! I am also sick of the lack of fairness . I am a paid member. Apparently what you see as a joke I don't. I have thick skin but this was not a situation that called for his-her emarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
