 Quote From: wildwood I tried many times to get registered for this board as I truly enjoy Dr. Phil's shows for the most part. I think he is providing a great service for men and women everywhere. Thought it might be fun to have "intelligent" exchanges with other viewers about the "psychology" involved. What with my slow computer, and my uncanny nack for picking a password that is hard to registar, it took a while.
I have two questions, "Are people here allowed to be so rude to each other here, and do they enjoy that and "nickpicking" other posters more than having "discussions" about the SHOW ?", and Aren't there some guidelines for this board or something prohibiting "personal" attacks on posters?
And , is this a recipe swap board or a board to "talk about the show?"
Just wondering Yes, I think for most people 'guidelines' are set by the person that is posting, I think that this is a great board where alot of good advice, and different views can be read.
I find that sometimes a debate can get 'heated', and usually common sense will be enough for a person who does not agree with someones view to 'attack' the idea/topic, etc and not launch a barrage of insults on the person behind the post. As you see with some people that doesn't work because they have that attitude " My views are always right, and you have no idea"!, and if they still feel that they haven't been convincing enough thats when the rubbish like " I'm a lawyer, etc, so I am right and you know nothing"! Yeah, you are so right, simply don't let it bother you. When people start to constantly give aggresive answers and need to throw in their profession then that should tell you enough about the person.......... I have a very challenging, rewarding occupation which has taken me to all corners of the world, so does that make me the 'know all of mankind', absolutely not!, my point is that occupation and whatever else has little relevance in debates like these, because many people through their own life experiences have many things to offer here, I have read many things on this board which have made me perhaps look at certain topics in a different light or given me things to think about, and I respect alot of what is said even if I don't always happen to agree with them, but everyone has a right to their opinnion and in turn not to be degraded or ridiculed for it.
I also agree, that sometimes it is hard to log on, only to find that some people use these boards as 'personal chat lines' that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, and as for recipe swapping I'm sure that there are many boards which are associated with cooking and perhaps they could go there, instead of wasting other peoples time and space on things that have nothing to do with the topic that I or someone else has logged onto.
Keep posting, and keep your opinnions coming!
