Skip Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Why is is that some people feel the need to post topics that they know from the start are going to be incendiary? Recent one started just this morning. One a week or two ago... Sort of like loaded car names like Edsel, Corvair, Pinto (that one was literally incendiary), Yugo... everyone has some sort of negative comment about each, plus those who just love them. Don't understand it sometimes when people in general start a conversation they already know the answer to just to get a rise out of the other(s). Always thought that this was a forum of individuals brought together by the love of building and enjoying our model cars versus lengthy discussions of lexicology. Then again maybe I'm just wrong again. I am not attacking any individual(s), just saying these discussions are very counter productive. We are all for the most part adults here. This topic was not brought up to start a wizzing match so don't make it one. Note: I posted this in general because most of the time these discussions are posted in general, not the "Off Topic Lounge". Edited February 28, 2014 by Skip
Lunajammer Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Doesn't it strike you that posting a thread about incendiary topics isn't in itself laying gasoline and matches out to see what happens? I'm going to the Workbench.
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 It depends on what your definition of "is" is.
Erik Smith Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I had some pinto beans for dinner last night.
martinfan5 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I had some pinto beans for dinner last night. Tonight is a lazy dinner night, fish sticks, popcorn chicken and french fries , two out the three are being deep fired
sjordan2 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Some people post interesting topics because they don't know they're going to be incendiary. Like me, on the "build" topic, which started innocently and got completely out of hand. However, your opening post indicates that's exactly what you're after. Comment?

Harry P. Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Simple. It increases the number of hits the forum gets. Nothing like drama to attract people to post. This thread will be locked in 5 4......... You really are quite the sage, aren't you? "Incendiary" topics only become so when people post childish and "incendiary" comments. Like, oh, say, "shut up and build something" or other really insightful comments like that. Know what I mean?
