Weird Prod Poll, Part 3 (the most dangerous one)
Nov 14, 2019, 6:53 AM
|
|
OK, so I haven't gotten as many responses to my previous posts as I was hoping for, but I understand how it would not be very interesting to you. Nevertheless, I will finish my little campaign of self-examination here by asking what may be a dangerous question. I don't believe in ad hominem, but in this thread, I would like for you to tell me what qualities my posts have, good or bad. Technically, this is not ad hominem in the sense of "attacking" me to try to win some debate. I'm literally asking you to criticize my posts. This is not about who I am as a person, because none of you actually know me. This is about what my posts here represent.
So, all I'm asking you is to give me adjectives for what my posts are like, or what kind of attitude my posts convey, to you. Again, I will not argue anything you post, and you will get a free point for a serious reply, even if all of your input is negative. Feel free to use as many negative adjectives as you want...I already have some in mind, and I'll be interested to see if you feel the same way.
To make this easier, I'll just list some that you might use. You can use your own; this is just to give you a place to kick off from.
educated, misinformed, ignorant, reasoned, illogical, kind, mean, nasty, gracious, humble, arrogant, prideful, honest, dishonest, genuine, disingenuous, verbose, boring, interesting, naive, realistic, optimistic, pessimistic, cynical, idealistic

Thought provoking
Whether I agree or disagree your posts always make me think.
I would add polite and genuine - I often post stuff because I know it will provoke some of our companions as a joke but you seem to always try to foster honest discussion.

Your posting style?

Often reminds me of this......skip to the 1 minute or so mark.
In other words, often feels like you already know where you going when you ask questions and are rope a doping a little. I though and believe you to be sincere.

Ok, jack ###, that was never said. I said that the beat was a west coast beat which reminded me of the good ol' 90's rap. Not that he was a rapper, but that the beat in the song was west coast.

after this thread, you may need a hug or a nice phone convo

here are a few numbers, lol.

I get the introspective nature of these questions. Self-improvement is a virtue, but I'm not sure how wise it is to be consulting the visitors to this board, as innocently as you present it. My observation has been that people are posting on here because they have some need to vent, are lonely, or need some kind of reassurance that they are not the crazy ones.

I am self-examining, but the thing I am really examing
Nov 14, 2019, 10:16 AM
|
|
is, specifically, the way I am posting on this board. I'm not trying to come to some conclusion about my life in general or something. So if the only thing I am looking to improve on is how I'm posting here, then it makes sense (to me) to ask people reading my posts here.

Prod's posts are sincere, well thought-out and logical. Often Prod seems more interested in learning than in expressing an opinion, and Prod is never interested in scoring points or "winning" a debate. The goal of Prod's posts is usually to ask questions to get a better understanding of something he doesn't think he understands well enough. He never goes on the attack, always keeps it civil and respectful, and tries to keep an open mind even while having conviction in his beliefs.
Prod's posts tend to cause discomfort in certain people who mistrust Prod's motives. But those people are probably confused mostly because they themselves don't know how to earnestly ask questions and learn from others. They just want to fight and yell and score points.
Was I supposed to just give a list of adjectives? Hope this is ok.

Spooneye's posts go out of their way to avoid

second person, even in direct replies. You'll often find spooneye using words like "he" or "she" when the more common "you" would suffice.

you post. It is a pleasant thing that you're not sarcastic, because many of your topics are a bit weighty. Among us oddballs, freaks, perverts, and the lot that frequent the Lunge, your posts seem to be sincere and generally thought provoking. Your religious foundation seems to guide many of these ponderings and how they might relate in a wider, more secular world in an almost perpetual Bildungsroman-like fashion. But you're not a spring chicken anymore. That leaves one to conclude that in you're posts, you are eager to learn, slow to judge, and can appreciate humanity in its beauty and its ugliness as an effort to gain any pebbles of wisdom as they come you're way...even in the Lunge.

another outlet for baseball stuff (Twitter). So when I'm thinking about baseball, I go there, not here. But that's nice of you to say. I should probably participate more on baseball topics.

I've always appreciated your earnestness on here
Nov 15, 2019, 12:13 PM

I know you're a smart guy, but you don't mouth off. You just say what you think, simply, and I think people on here find that endearing. There's none of the snark or jadedness you normally see on message boards. Sometimes I wonder if your innocent earnestness isn't a little fake, because it doesn't make much sense to me that you'd be so curious about people's thoughts on here without being as curious off the board. But I've decided it's the real deal.
