August 10, 201313 yr Some times I feel like I've been accepted into the fold by the BGP long-timers. Other times I feel like Eta Rho. Like everyone wants to pick at the posts no matter what is posted. I like a good argument but it is amusing how it seems to come in waves. Maybe I'm moodier than I realize haha.

Good thread start, Plato. The reason that I joined BGP is not the reason that I am still here.
August 11, 201313 yr Author It is lots of fun to go back and forth on different topics. Even when it gets heated. The worst part for me isn't when I get called out or even when (on rare occasion) I am wrong and have to admit it... The worst part is when I post something I feel was really intelligent/witty/on point and no one responds at all. Especially if conversations go on around it like it is an invisible, awkward middle schooler trying to get in the kickball game. I thought about reading this again to check for grammar mistakes - but just couldn't

You were accepted the day you joined BGP. I love a good argument as well. Especially the heated ones and the people who make me re-evaluate my thoughts and beliefs. Of course, I'll never tell those folks how they influence me. May go to their head.

I thought about reading this again to check for grammar mistakes - but just couldn't Excellent thread, and nice posts to kick the whole thing off as well. I, too, sometimes think I've made a excellent point in a post, only to see it ignored. Conversely, I've had posts I just kind of threw out there get all kinds of play. I'm convinced I've ended more threads than any member in history, i.e. I've had the last post in a thread. Most of the time when I think I make a good point in a thread, it is the last post. Not that the thread is closed, just no more posts. I'm also convinced anytime I post anything that could be remotely wrong, I get the business. Case in point, several years ago, Colerain lost a few football games early in the high school season. Some posters in a thread of some sort began speculating they would not make the playoffs, even if they won the rest of their games. I politely pointed out they were wrong, and I got piled on a little. End of the day, Colerain won out, and made the playoffs easily. I've sufficed that I'm a bigger fan of BGP than BGP is of me. I'm good with that.
