The constant barrage of ridiculous postings, which are more like a flame war, are only turning people off.
Pinning your flag to the mast (posting a thread with information, and leaving it up) allows people who are interested to read and discuss points made. But this is totally eroded when you go on and on and on.........
You become the architects of both the apathy you complain about, and (as was pointed out) your own loss of credibility. I assume that most of us on here are at least graduates who learned/were taught how to think and analyse rationally. I have to ask, was the education wasted?
In future I will follow my natural instincts and ignore all posts by certain posters. I am sure I am not the only member of the audience who has been lost.
