Some people use these boards to fill a void in their lives. Instead of coming by to socialize and converse, they come by to get their daily dose of attention. When they don't get that attention, they complain. It really is pathetic. One person on the Deadwood board in particular has become quite annoying. She is always reporting bad news. She complains in the manner old people complain when they become bitter about how their lives turned out. It really became quite tiresome, so I put her on ignore. My life is too short and my time is too valuable to waste any of it on people whose purpose in life is to bring the rest of us down.
