Steve Shaw Mudcat - changes in style and profile (361* d) RE: Mudcat - changes in style and profile 24 Jun 14


I'm only guessing, but, like about 95% of people who come to this site, I ignore about 95% of the stuff on this site. I have found it to be an incredibly useful resource on a large number of occasions. But I click on very few of the very large number of threads here. That is not a reflection of this site, more a reflection of my musical predilections (namely the traditional instrumental music of the British Isles and, mainly, of Ireland). The key point is that I click only on the stuff that might be of interest to me (sometimes I get a bit more adventurous than that, and it's often very rewarding so to do, but life is short). I repeat, I tend to click on stuff that I think might be interesting. Therefore:

I do not click on stuff that I know will be tedious (frequent) or offensive (hardly ever) to my somewhat thick skin. I recommend this approach to anyone with a thinner skin than mine. I can't remember when I started here, but what I do remember is that it was a place replete with cliques. That has subsided, and I think that's all for the good.

If you have a tendency to moan about offensive posts in threads about politics or religion, well the answer for you is devastatingly simple. Avoid. Click ye not. If you click on a thread that you know will give you offence, you are barking mad. Psychiatrists may have a more technical term than that reserved for you.
