When I make the last post to a topic and no one replies, I assume they have either lost interest, agree with me and have nothing to say, or disagree with me but would rather not discuss it.

I don't see any of these as bad.

We can't delete accounts.

Here's a suggestion: consider joining and posting in Raleigh's WP Addicts thread in the Random forum. Raleigh has created and maintained an enduring, inclusive, friendly, and convivial thread where no-one gets ignored, posters are supportive (generally) and conflict is minimal. Given it's length by now, that's a terrific achievement. Even I like to post there occasionally!

Wow, I thought I was the only one. I would post an original thought that I thought was witty and thoughtful and thought provoking and lo and behold no one and I mean no one would respond. It would bum me out for a while than I would forget about it.
And months later, out of the blue I would receive an email from wrong planet about someone responding to my post.
Just keep posting...something will click.
Hell..look how many people responded to this one?

I like it when I post something and then someone post almost the same thing right after me and they are the one who gets the replies.

fifasy if you try walking out I'll send someone to break your kneecaps.

Fifasy, I really like your posts. :D I have been thinking about the one you posted about "separate minds" for a while. I have a horrible habit of thinking out a long reply, typing it and then going back and deleting it. Not the most helpful. But I do like your posts.

Elsa I do exactly the same as you. I often write replies to people and delete them because I begin second guessing myself. I like your posts too BTW!

The thread killing dilemma, I don't think there's any answer to that. But using French quotations or issuing threats can help :lol:

It appears you have been proven wrong.
