RE: Pet Peeve

Concerning the initial post, I feel there is no reason to delete old posts in group threads, there are old posts that are still relevent. As and example, deleteing a post about a place to go skinni dipping that was posted a year ago is still relevent.

Concerning blank or empty profile, I do not accept friend requests from people that have them unless I have gotten to know them through either chat or forum and I don't care if they have nude pics. There are valid reasons someone won't post a lot of informtion or pics. There are also people who delete their profile because they get fed up with things on here but return because they miss the redeming qualities of the site. That does not mean they are a troll that was banned from the site from another country and has returned to continue the trolling.

I am really disappointed to see that again a thread has degenerated into personal attacks. It doesn't matter who made the first rude comment in some past thread. Attacking someone who posts in a thread because of something that was said in a previous thread is totally uncalled for.

My biggest pet peeve is people insisting on constantly inserting pictures in posts that have no redeming quality in the forum post. I have a slow connection and a download limit with my connection.

RE: Pet Peeve

I love that a pic was used in response to my comment about people inserting pics that had no relevence. In this case, my slow connection is due to the fact that I do not live in town where cable internet service is available. Satalight connection is avaiable only if you catch one of the providers when they are adding service in an area and they also have download limits. I have to use service that goes through a tower and due to hills and distance, the signal is weak. I know of some who have a problem because their computer is old and slow. A new computer or higher priced internet connection may not be possible for some due to financial reasons. That doesn't diminish the value of their contributions to the forums or this site.

Yes, it was my choice to live here, there are some things more important than getting blazing fast internet.

NIMA, hughesnet and wildblue are the two I checked into, I know people who have them. HN is a good price if you purchase the equipment, but has high cost for that when I checked. Every time I have checked, they have been "not adding service in your area"

People who not only have totally empty profiles, but rationalize them and attack anyone who mentions them; People who can't grasp that their Groups list says more about them than anything else in their profile; People who preach civility and peace while spewing vicious, unprovoked ad hominems; People who simply must tell the world that they were booted from chat... more than once; People who whine and bitch and fling epithets like "Nazis" and "prudes" and "dictators" when members who love this site do their part to keep it clean and wholesome; People who cannot fathom that being naked no more makes one a nudist than eating at a restaurant makes one a chef; People who believe that the fact that they support actions that violate nudist philosophy and ethics is sufficient reason to change or abandon the philosophy and ethics; People who assert that the year on a calendar is a justification for antisocial behavior; People who believe that being young is more important than being mature, experienced and wise; People who believe that imperfect, age-worn bodies are ugly and should be kept clothed; People who believe that being old means being unlovable; Spammers; Perverts; Trolls; People whose evident purpose for registering on TN is to destroy it from within its walls.

This needs repeating.

I suffered dial-up internet connection until only 2 years ago when I splurged on an Air Card and feel the extra monthly fee worth my time.

I thought everything was big in Texas,ha,ha. Notice no pic with this to slow you down, sorry about that, but I have a faulty keypad and it's easier for me to talk with pictures ( less mistakes to keep editing).

RE: Pet Peeve

I am a member of 12 groups on this site. And a creator of 1. And going thru the groups I noticed a lot of old postings. And I noticed before posting this. The forum is guilty as well . Now granted, I had not participated in the other groups as much as I should.However That is no escuse for having old postings. And I can guess that there is A LOT of other groups have a lot of old postings as well. Here is the breakdown in my circle of groups. 1 group 4yrs ago 6 groups 3 yrs ago 5 groups 2 yrs ago The Forum 3 yrs ago. My group.? Beer Brewers and Wine Makers. I delete anything past 6 months old. I challenge ALL Moderators and Creators of groups tobe moreinvolved . Start deleting ALL Old Posts, Anything older than a year get rid of it. I chose 6 months, However if anything needs re-posting I'll do it. Just to keep MY group fresh
Who really bothers with the 'groups' function on this site anyway? Only a few actually do get people starting threads on them. :)

RE: Pet Peeve

Cheri, I also use an aircard and it is faster than dialup. But the speed is related to the cell phone signal and I don't get a good signal at my house. I had to move my computer upstairs to get a better signal by having less of a hill blocking the signal.
