My Main Gripe
If you haven't got anything positive to offer, then please, go away.
My father said,"Never complain unless you offer a solution to the problem"
;)
I think Ben's complaining. Solution? Leave.

Complaining about complainers. One mans complaint is another mans brainstorm. The best inventions are born from others complaints.

if you hear complaints, that doesn't mean that "people have nothing better to do than complain". I just made myself a BLT sandwich. Does that mean I have nothing better to do than make myself a sandwich? No. But I can't spend EVERY waking moment of every day saving humanity.
Your father was wrong, by the way. A complainant can call attention to a problem, and thus provide a valuable service, without necessarily offering a solution. Like the whistle-blower at Enron, or the Watergate security guard.

"If you haven't got anything positive to offer, then please, go away" >>> I agree 100%.

Saying "lol" or "rofl" after every sentence doesn't make what is said in such sentences any less untrue or invalid.

You didn't (cough) first.

The (cough) only comes after AP.
He's got 3 favourites: The (cough) the "lol" and "you can't have it both ways". He asks silly questions and then when someone doesn't answer his silly questions he comes back with a comment about how he asked an easy question and because you didn't answer it you're hiding and can't take the heat... and then he asks more silly questions.

Wrong answer coolbreeze. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be...."you can't have it both ways".
If the questions are 'silly', dont participate, dont respond. I follow that rule just fine. Lets pick this apart. Why would someone RESPOND to a thread/post that has a QUESTION and then NOT respond to the question? It makes little sense. Usually (not always) when a person REFUSES to answer something, its not because he just doesn't feel like it, there is an AGENDA for not answering.
"and can't take the heat" >>> Very correct!
Ken
People can respond in a variety of ways, for a variety of reasons, on a topic that they may want to contribute to the original post or something later on. And it may be to point out the question is indeed a silly one. This does not mean there is a secret agenda. It means they think the question is a silly one, and feel like saying so, rather than not answer.

So if I ask if you like apples.....its ok to NOT answer the QUESTION but you tell me the history of the great state of Washington? (Washington apples) To you, that makes perfect sense?
Ken
People may want to stay on the point, but as long as it's generally about Apples, it's okay. Or if the topic went to apples, then where they are grown, and the merits of growing in Washington over Oregon, then a discussion about state-wide apple laws, and how they came into being in Washington due to the history of the state... sure, why ever not.
The OP may have wanted a discussion about liking apples... he got something pertaining to apples instead.
I wanted a night out with Sherilyn Fenn when I was younger, and I didn't get that either.
