Definitely some pet peeving for either. We see it that way because that is what we were taught in school. North, Central and South America. It is not the same thing as seeing Quebec as separate from Canada. Quebec is part of Canada, not a separate country no matter how hard they wish it otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post there if the last post isn't mine, but quite often it is mine, and I have been taught double posting is bad form, so I post here. I was going to post some of my stuff but after seeing how many hoops you have to jump through just to make the posters happy so they aren't constantly trying to tell me what, where, when and how I can post... forget it. I share my "art" on my terms, not anyone else's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting the same picture in the Your Avatar section is double posting. Posting one in How does Your Avatar look today AND close ups or one of the other catagories in that whole other area is fine. Unless you're posting 3 or 4 pics in a row on the same day, who cares if yours was the last one posted in a thread. If it's a different day, a different scene, something different. I'll post one in Your Avatar in the appropriate thread and maybe another in Art, Music and Photograhy where appropriate. You're free to do it however you'd like but as you know, any post comes with an opportunity for comments. And I think you meant, Hardly ever looks at and likes.

If you ask for fries/French fries you won't get the sort of stuff you get in fast food restaurants in most places you'll get chunkier fries known as chips. Also if you ask for a bag of chips in a supermarket/food shop you won't get what we know as crisps, you'll get a bag of frozen fries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something wrong with preferring to post in a thread that people actually read and comment on or appreciate? I'm not sure why you're bullying him to admit to what, to me, seems perfectly normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 My only point being is that in How does YOUR avatar look today...most people show THEIR avatar only and not Me with Random Person of the Day. Those would be Pictures of Friendship. Just like Close Ups or Landscapes. There are specific threads but they don't get seen as much therefore, not as many Likes. Am I wrong? No. Also, I've not seen anyone complain about anyone posting days apart in those threads. Btw, nice pull of the bully card. You hadn't used that in awhile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Psaltery Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I've looked at this topic briefly today and just have this to say. A French fry is to a chip as a matchstick is to a sausage. I know which is bigger and tastier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it all the time. It's called cocoa nutting after a certain poster from way back. It's playing catchup on a thread that has either exploded while I slept or I haven't had time to keep up. So I reply as I read through and if someone happens to post in between, oh well, they broke my streak. If someone doesn't like it, they can always skip my posts.

Solar Legion Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Oh for .... Double-posting is when you've posted the exact same thing twice, generally back to back or through some forum glitch. Post what you like in the image threads, staying within ToS/CS and reason and ignore people griping at you. Yes, there are specific threads for specific things - some made simply to draw more attention to specific photo/snapshot/screenshot types (individual shots - several of those type, group/friends and such) - post in whichever is suitable.

Most of the time I just ignore it and they quickly get bored and move along. Unless a mod tells you, you can't post an image in a particular thread, you aren't breaking any rules. The posters don't get to make the rules. Edited September 28, 2021 by Silent Mistwalker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember long ago the Linden person who told me about SL went to a MickyDs not far from the Lab's office and came back to work on some technical stuff and got the flying dirties. More time in the washroom then dealing with a server. I remember him telling me that when he used to come to our old night club in South San Francisco before we closed it and retired to Canada. After that he never went back to MickyD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruelty doesn't mean you can't learn or discover new things, or that you can't have progress. In fact, throughout history, a great deal of progress and discovery has been accommodated by cruelty. Besides, how compassionate is it to brand someone as 'cruel', based on someone else whinging about not feeling approved of? Do you feel sufficiently informed of their character to pass such a harsh judgement? Throw not mice in cheese shops, and all that. 50 minutes ago, Coffee Pancake said: Because we can.
