[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9411158, member: 6796661"] It is not uncommon for me to look over new threads and the only thing that comes to mind is "I don't care." So, naturally, I ignore those threads and move on. I've never understood why other folks seem compelled to take the time to go into threads they don't care about to tell everyone they don't care. I don't mean people going into threads to complain about some trend or rule, etc., they don't like. I may find such posts annoying, depending upon the poster's language and level of antagonism. But I at last understand somewhat the psychology behind the compulsion to complain. But taking the time to post "I don't care" or "meh", where does that come from? Is it that they do care and this is just a way to passive aggressively complain or be dismissive? It is the only way I can make sense of it. If one truly does not care, why take the time to post that fact instead of ignoring the thread altogether? [/QUOTE]
