Under the names of those using the site we can see the list of new arrivals
Why do they not remain and become active
Lets face it they found us so must have searched
And too those that have stayed often are good posters who brighten all our days
Is there some thing we, contributors can do? or in the case of one not do?
Welcome all you new arrivals, stick around even if only to verbally box my ears now and again

snowflake generation Belly. Usually a bit of truth melts a narrative and produces a dummy spit.

Dear Belly,

Why do new comers not stay?

Perhaps they're overwhelmed by the high standards
of debate displayed on this forum. By the civility
and respect shown and they're just not capable
of fitting into such a high standard internet discussion
web?

Or maybe the opposite is true?

As you know discussion forums do attact people with troll-like
behavior who love nothing better than to start arguments
upsetting others by posting inflammatory comments and vicious
attacks - with
the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an
emotional response.

The anonymity suits people like that. This should not
surprise any of us. People who can aggressively shoot back
don't suffer but there are those who aren't capable of
dealing with those kind of attacks and who sometimes can
remain shattered for days - they're the people who choose
to simply leave rather than stay.

Thanks Foxy, for just being you and the huge laugh I got out of both posts above, for very different reasons
We have, and so has every forum, always had good posters leave, and unfortunately bad ones, stay
We will not get big numbers for this thread but it is my hope every one will give us their thoughts
My self imposed exile, was a reaction to down right inflammatory abuse.
I was wrong, getting better results staying away from some posters and their threads
Is that the answer? probably not, but it is the best I have
In my every day life while firmly think what I say, I question my views and opinions
Did that out of the blue two hours ago, and it is in my view some thing we all could benefit by doing
I must hold my hand up, as could be expected many of my friends in that other place, facebook, are my mates, ex members I once looked after
They, not all but most, hold views so far right of mine, it enforces my view more open two sided debate is healthy

Too many lefties for most to handle.
