What is it about these message boards?


Right then…I really want to share this with you folks inasmuch as it kind of interests me, albeit, in a small way. As for me it is an absolute phenomenon; however, maybe if you folks feel like it you can add some insight to what I'm going to say.

But first…screamtaza you're alright by me. I have no problem with anyone—anyone—having a bad day. I'm a male and when I get my period, I am as bitchy as hell. I have worked in and around and through actors and celebs and wannabes my entire life.

Here's my phenomenon or dilemma: Has anyone but me noticed that anytime a person starts or participates in a thread conversation it only takes but maybe 4 to 5 postings before the entire thread goes to hell with people name-calling, getting pissed (mad) at each other, and really denigrating anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with them? I find this particularly true on every board where show business or entertainment is the topic. Here's some examples: tmz.com, E!Online.com and anyone of the networks. What do you folks think?

Paulo,

I have seen this in every type of BB forum there is. I have this in forums for Auto Repair, MIDI Music, Politics and probably "underwater basketweaving"!

Maturity is absent across subject, gender, racial, ethnic, professional and other lines. It should not be a surprise. I have learned to just read and move on. On this board at least, we can block those we no longer want to see! :)

Regards!
Enrique Sanchez
