Every now and then, I go back to old threads that I may have missed some unique posts in and find while reading the posts, that some people make despicable posts, sniping at professional players, the back-stabbing of industry business owners by their own kind, grudges between forum members, grudges for those outside of our forum, the use of foul language to communicate, the degrading way in which women are often portrayed in avatars, the lack of respect given to those of who follow us, the inconsideration of setting an example for others to follow, the ambushing of popular posters, the tripe over rep and the needless attacks on people trying to do something good for pool.
Jealousy, one-upsmanship, self-righteousness, just plain old dislike and intolerance all play a part in some of our posts. There are many reasons for these unsavory posts and threads; too many to list but I was just thinking if the forum members had to look at their worst posts from time to time, they might improve their contributions.
I was thinking about a New Year's resolution and thoughts about hunting down the worst posts of the year and collecting them in a folder and then posting them on the forum so that people can see themselves more clearly, plus... you know, to stick the needle in them. :embarrassed2:
I also thought about putting their screen names together and just making my own personal A--Hole List.
Another thought was to collect their screen names and their real names (it's not that hard) and to publish both on the A--Hole List on the main forum just to see how many of us could be added to my list from other members who don't see things "our" way.
Maybe start a thread, where people could post the reasons for their own personally chosen top 3 A--Holes and then follow up with a poll for the top ten A--Holes based upon the original thread's suggestions.
I'm sure many of us would make other people's list in spite of how we view ourselves, but it's still something to think about.
Instead, I will just wish everyone a Happy New Year. :duck: :angel2: :indecisive: :barf:
oke: :canoodle:
