why do posts die when i respond? (on DP) why do my threads get so little attention? am i boring or stupid? does most everyone not like me? am i being boycotted? sheesh. if folks want rid of me, just say the word, and i'll find a place to post where i feel welcome!! i know i can trust you all to be honest with me- what is the deal? notifiying me of my major malfunction is not going to hurt my feelings as much as being ignored does.

hey thanks,
cat

Hey, try not to be so sensitive. Not all posts get responses. Some are so diffcult to respond to that some of us lose brain cells just reading them. Remember that for every response or no response there are hundreds maybe even thousands of lurkers who do respond, in their own minds.
They are too selfish or inhibited to respond directly to the board BUT you can rest assured they are out there reading, responding, chuckling to themselves for their creativity, perfect grammar and punctuation all in their minds....

Now tell me, what is worse to be ignored or to get your posts and follow ups deleted? All of my late night ones were deleted and when I awoke this morning I wondered if I had only dreamed I had responded. Paula confirmed the erasures so now I am feeling insecure myself. Was there one you wanted a particular response to?

Cat, you have to stop asking difficult questions. You have to start with things we might be able to answer like.."what's the biggest penis you have ever seen?"..."what is an orgasm?" "How can I tell if I am faking my own orgasms?" "Where did the word dildo come from?" "How many dildoes have you burned out?" "How many orgasms can you get out of a "D" battery, a "C"....triple AAA's." "Why do some men's balls shrivel up when arounsed and some hang down to their knees?"...Are you asking the right kind of questions for the forum? Remember it is a sex forum so ask sex questions. I can assure you there are many of us who have not had sex in a long time who are willing to answer all your questions and respond to your posts. Bryan claims he's gone a year...I couldn't help but think..."only a year? That often? What are you complaining about?"
It is not you.....really.

Honey, I feel the same way sometimes too. Rawlin said alot that is true. Just try not to take it personal and if it is something that I can respond to and help you out with, believe me, I will. I love you too much to ignore you! Just keep posting and don't worry about it. YOu are a great asset to DP and don't you dare go away from there or here! I will find you and smack your butt! LOL cheer up babe, it isn't you! :0)

sometimes a post just drops too fast. You have to be willing to just repost and/or ask for a response. There can be a lot of reasons why people can't get to responding to a post and one just can't take it personally.

That said there's no denying that it can be rather discouraging/disappointing when no one responds.

Subject: Catherine

With great remorse, I must report that Catherine continues to post at DP. Some people, and please don't e-mail me asking if you're among them, have been slipping up and replying to her. Look, I did not start The Hearth as a place for Catherine to post. I'd sooner close it down first. Besides, there are plenty of other places where she can go. Why is she so obsessed with The Hearth? Please, whatever you do, do not post to Catherine.


Sorry, but hey, you wanted to know.

As Tricia said, sometimes you just have to give it some time. Other times you won't get much response - just depends on what mood people are in or what they find interesting on a given day. It has nothing to do with you, and imagining that "posts die when you respond"?!?! That's just silly.:-)

Believe me! If we didn't like you, we wouldn't ignore you -we'd argue with you instead!:-)

Don't take things so personally! Of course there's nothing wrong with your posts!:-)

Are you "Cat from Cat and "Drifter.Com? Or are you KJ? Or are you a different Catherine? I'm asking cause I'm Nancy aka Drew and I am REALLY fucked up about who's who these days...LOL

I am sorry if I have ignored you...I ignore a lot of people lately...Been pretty self-absorbed..(cause I tend to be a selfish bitch sometimes...Really...)

I don't think folks mean to ignore you..Maybe work on your header? Write a subject header that jumps out and grabs someone and perhaps you will get more responses? A fight is always good for attracting interest too..However, ahmm...It likely isn't a great idea...Paula is a stickler about name calling etc...

And for god sake..Don't post any pics about bunny slippers and carrots..That'll really piss a lot of folks off...

Try some of Rawlin's suggestions maybe?

In all seriousness, I shall look for ya at DP...Honest! And I shall attempt to make you feel more welcome there..Thanks for bringing my insensitivity to my attention...
sighs....

*side note to self....Shell....You are a SHIT HEAD!!!*
