Thank you for your service 25caliber. And I also must say I agree with pixiestix. Your comment that "this is the thread that people we know convene" seems a bit...standoffish, to be honest. Some go to the tavern and visit and some go to the coffeeshop...but I don't see many of you making an effort to get to know people that have been here for years and instead stick to your own section of the quad..kinda like high school. I thought I was being unfair thinking that, until you just said what you said.
So I presume this means only this thread is your new hangout and the rest of the board and denizens be damned? Just askin'. No offense intended. Just trying to understand.
I can answer this, it has nothing to do with being standoffish or being in high school. Our common interest, for the moment, was this trial. We did something like 20k posts on hashing out the trial and now we're all a little burned out on it and it's dwindled down. I went to check out the other Z thread "texting", then another thread opens up on "should evidence be admitted", then another opens up on a little detail of the whole topic. For my part, that gives me ADD to flick back and forth from thread to thread for little pieces of the same topic. I hope I don't offend anyone by speaking for anyone here, but we've discussed this trial (AND sometimes off the trial topic) in the same place, under the same "all encompassing" heading for 6 months and the conversation moves and flows depending on what's currently going on and/or if someone backs the truck up and we all go back around to re-hash a point, then come back to whatever is the current thing going on. And generally, we all go all the way back to where we left off the last time to not miss any points anyone made and repeat the same hashing out. I don't know why, but it's worked for us this way, that's a long time to hash out opinions with people.
For my part - I am too stoopid and too busy to do the 5 Zimmerman threads and keep up with the points and same points on the other threads and keep my place with what's been said and what points have been made, it's easier for chat in one place called "TRIAL" and that's where you talk about the trial.
I don't know if any of us will do that trial too, but this thread will probably continue on and to be (mainly) about Jodi until she's sentenced and goes away.
