At all times there are like 5 people viewing the boards and only 1 member. Stop in and say hi, we won't bite

Why no posts from non-members? Because you do bite back. All the lurkers know that when a different opinion is expressed, there is little toleration and there will be at least 3 of you that will flame. Let the dicussion(s) flow a bit, be a bit open minded and consider other points of view. Maybe then this board will have some lively debates and not just a pat on the back for just a few of you. That said, this is a great forum. We lurk for a reason. Offer a more flame-resistent atmosphere and see more people willing to be members.

Just to say it again- By registering as a member you get access to the polls and to the members only (not the 80's jacket) forum. It doesn't put your name on any spam lists, or telemarketer calls (am I the only one getting the 5+ refinance your mortgage calls a day?!?), or anything like that. It simply just gives you access and keeps it fair by only allowing you to vote once based on your sign-in name. I promise that we will never spam you or anything like that. I only send out Emails on the list if something huge happens like a tornado coming your way or a major accident on the Bay Bridge, etc.

Rich speaks the truth! No spam (or any other canned meat products), no junk mail. It's cool.

Post whatever you want, who cares if it doesn't agree with someone else's post? Who cares if someone disagrees with you? Who cares if there are some to 'flame' you? That is what we do, why is anyone afraid to speak their mind? What... are we going to come egg your houses? Folks unless you post your full name, phone # and address...it's anonymous. Be free.

Gotta say - Rio's got a point. I've been burned on here a few times for expressing an unpopular opinion. Not fun. It's nice to be able to have a discussion - but nobody wants to get reamed out by a cyber-bully. That's why people lurk.

Thanks thomas.
I had a ton to say that I just deleted. I'll think about contributing my thoughts to other threads and hope that other "lukers" (non-members) do the same.
Happy Veterans' Day to all!

I don't think I'm too sensitive. I just don't come here to fight or vent out my daily frustrations on others. And I can see why people lurk. It sucks to post your opinion, only to have people start reaming you out for it. Nobody deserves that.

well you don't have to read it do you? post what you want and then leave. That is a suggestion I am not flaming anyone... just to make that clear. I am not sure why you care so much? Like I said it's conversation. Not everyone agrees with the loudest ones, if you don't speak up then we get bored just agreeing with ourselves all day. Maybe there are more people that might agree with you if you posted your thoughts. Disagreeing is the beauty of our free world. The different opinions keep the world colorful. Why be so concerned if someone disagrees with you. Bite back it's not like anyone can hit you!

I'll register when I get home from work, too lazy now. I found out about this site thing today too. I overheard two people talking about this posting board and how this is the "real Kent Islanders views on the area". If true, this island is whacked! Just kidding. Did a Google search, and here I be. Hello all Lazy Dave
