[quote=CA renter]Not “stalking” in the actual sense, but the aggressive tenacity in which you try to pry more and more information from people about their personal lives — information that isn’t anyone’s business, especially on the internet — is where the problem lies. When people are reluctant to give out that information, you tend to “fill in the blanks” with whatever information you might have picked up by searching through other threads, etc….}[/quote] For the record, CAR, I haven’t have the time to “search” old threads. I remember what these posters have stated on threads which I have participated in. They either posted it in response to one of my posts or another’s post in a thread in which I, myself participated in.
This is due to my near “photographic memory.”
I don’t need to “fill in the blanks.” I can use what is posted and give a personal opinion on a subject based upon the information given. It is not a “legal” opinion. It is simply MY opinion, based solely upon the information given. I usually preface my opinions with a disclaimer that my opn was based solely upon the prior posts of the forum member.
Lots of posters start threads on this forum describing their issue and then asking, “What do the Piggs think?” Often, they don’t give enough information to get good answers. Does this mean they only want to hear from posters who agree with them? Or does it mean that posters who might have viable answers shouldn’t ask for more information? If the questioner chooses not to provide more info when asked, the quality and number of opinions on the thread goes down. It’s often a balance between giving out more info than the poster feels comfortable with and still being able to receive valuable opinions.
Of course, if any Pigg doesn’t like the opinion or “advice” another Pigg suggests for them, they don’t have to take it. You don’t have to shoot the messenger . . . or even explain why you can’t use the advice. Just move on.
