Integrity
Binge Poster
I am posting to this sub-forum because it is titled: Life after Brown sub-titled: What you do in your life outside of UPS.
Therefore I think it is the appropriate forum to place this post.
To all,
It is obvious that one of the many things I do in my life outside of UPS is post discussion threads and interact here on the Brown Café.
I tend to be a binge poster but it varies as the schedule in my life dictates.
One of the main reasons I come to the BC is to talk about work issues here because I generally never talk about work with my family and the job doesn't provide the forum to discuss issues that is provided here.
That's it.
I don't come here for comic relief, although it is sometimes provided.
I don't come here to verbally joust with some malcontents, although the opportunity is often provided.
I don't come here to be harassed, intimidated, or bullied, although some individuals will try to do this.
I don't come here intending to insult people although sometimes I do, for that I am truly sorry.
The very topics that I choose insult my own conscience therefore I am sure that they insult the conscience of others. They are chosen to challenge not to insult.
I don't come here to judge you. There is only one true judge of mankind and I am not Him.
You may view me as a Troll, that is your choice.
I will let my posting history, the quality of the discussions that I have started and participated in, the issues that I have openly addressed in this forum and on my blog, and my longevity in this community to be testimony against these accusations.
I have come to the conclusion that I must make a small change in how I respond to some of the participants in some of the discussion threads that I start.
I wanted to inform the entire BC community of my intentions prior to taking action so that when you notice the change you will already know the reasons and the motives for the change.
I have noticed probably since my arrival here at the BC in 2009 that my posts draw a lot of useless, attacking, bullying, intimidating replies and I have been long suffering in trying to respond to most replies on threads that I have started.
This takes a lot of time and I have determined that it is really not a value-added policy for responding to posts.
It is time intensive and honestly probably a waste of time.
I want to streamline discussion threads that I begin.
As of today I will be self moderating my discussion threads and future discussion threads by using the ignore list feature of this site.
I have often encouraged those that are troubled by my posts to use the ignore list so now I will be trying it out for myself.
Keep in mind; I am only doing this to decrease the noise, useless off topic comments, attacks, rude and offensive responses in discussion threads that I start so as to decrease the amount of time I have to spend reading and responding to them on the BC.
I will not be ignoring everyone who posts in arguably inappropriate ways, I will only be ignoring the most frequent and troublesome posters, as I see fit.
The ones who are clearly just trying to disrupt and bog down the discussion, increasing the time that I need to spend responding will be the first to go.
Some of you might be saying if I ignore all the attackers and inappropriate posts then I won't be responding to anybody and you know, with this statement you may be right
Some of my discussions actually seem to only get 1 or 2 legitimate responses, that is true.
If this is the case, then my goal of decreasing the amount of time having to spend on the BC responding to useless responses will have been achieved.
Sincerely,
I
