I’m worse. I don’t understand why sone people even post. They put a thought out there and ask for an opinion or validation when in actuality they just want a consenting opinion.
If you ask for an opinion, don’t you inherently know that some people are going to differ? Why not tell me upfront? Why waste my time? Presumably others of us may have actually had the same experience and come out the other side.
If an OP doesn’t want responses, the post should auto delete. Otherwise you’re essentially forcing everyone to read your post for no reason as there’s nothing there that’s actionable.

@Adogslife Exactly. I've been blocked for giving the "honest opinion" the poster asked for. 🙄🤷♂
Adogslife · 61-69, M
@Tumbleweed Right? Furthermore, why even create a post, as an OP, that you know is going to elicit responses that are going to trigger you so badly that you need to block people?
Isn’t that counterintuitive? It’s certainly not cathartic. 🤔

I made my journal posts public because I thought some of the answers I was finding, especially about my eating disorder, might help someone else. I closed comments because I have had very negative interactions on this site before. I have hidden them all now, and will be leaving this site again. Thank you for showing me that nothing ever changes here.

As someone who posts and discusses topical, partisan, political posts, you want to have a discussion and then move on.
Closing the posts prevents snipers from coming into the post months later making obnoxious, and unhelpful comments.

I've never seen that. I have seen people close their posts because the comments are turning nasty, that I can get behind.

@Hopelandia I just read another one this evening and it promted the question. Interesting reads, comment worthy, but that option is turned off. It is a puzzle to me. But to each their own here.

My thoughts. I often see posts that are 5-6-7 years old and still receiving comments.
Maybe they feel they should comment on the comment and don't want to anymore?

It doesn't matter what you say, someone will interpret it another way and then comment to that effect, if you just want to make a statement without all the interpretive comments, then say it and lock it. I understand it.

@SomeMichGuy Yes. That's how it seems to me, too. It's confusing. I've gone to comment a couple of times, not realizing it was another by the same person who doesn't allow it. 🤷🏼♀

@SomeMichGuy Agreed.

I haven’t come across such posts yet. I didn’t know it was even possible.
What I do find strange are accounts that have been here a while (years in some cases) but have no posts

@MrGrumpy
Typically these are alternate accounts from regular users that they use to spy on blocked people and triangulate on unsuspecting SWers.

@SumKindaMunster Oh. That’s too much trouble really
Tumbleweed · F
I think the main thing is that they've gotten the answer they were looking for and it could also be that there were too many negative comments

Hi LB,all good ?
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Tres13 Hello Tres. I'm doing alright. And you? Haven't see you here in a while.
Tres13 · 51-55, M
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Tres13 All good things in your RW, I hope. 😊 Take care of yourself!

That one lady who block all comments always? I ended up muting her. If she wants no comments she should write in her diary imo 😅
rinkydinkydoink · M
It's of little consequence to me. For example, after some time has elapsed - maybe a couple of months - I'll mass delete all my posts. Why would I do that? Is there a reason? Who cares?
OogieBoogie · F
Sometimes you get sick of replying.
Sometimes you have other posts open.
Sometimes you just dont wanna talk about it anymore
Sometimes the post has served its purpose
Sometimes its just so yesterday youve moved on
...so you close it so you dont have to be rude and not reply to people 🤷♀
Lotsa other reasons im sure

They certainly have a different idea of what this site is all about than I do.
@bowman81 the site ia splinter faction of a failed one world under technology attempt, the human engaging knows that besides myself there are no living beings posting here just an automated site as it's predecessor that will be shut down without live engagement fail this human doesn't choose Omnipotent figurehead characterSW, no sale that is a loss
They use it to journal.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@PromiseProtectionProvision Yes, you're probably correct.
StygianKohlrabi · M
I think it's because the post gets stale and people pop in like a month or year later forcing them to defend their views
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@StygianKohlrabi That's as good a guess as any.
Confusion yes that con is in fusion mode that should stall the system
Just the system trying to silence logical input
BrandNewMan · M
@pentagrammom There is a scarcity of logical input for many here ..
@BrandNewMan well that's being filtered now

Closed post = closed mind.
