Bickering

[427MM]

Feels like there is an uptick in bickering back and forth about trivial matters on here. As this is an online forum and as we’re no longer in the 1800’s its hard to say, “Why don’t we take this outside”. Might I suggest if the need arises to go at one another one of the parties suggest, “Why don’t we take this to the Bickering thread”? Let's see where this goes.

I suggest we ask Donald Trump to mediate.

At the end of the day we all want to get informed on what is going on in the city, and in order to have those types of informed conversations, we need to be able to also debate the various issues that pertain to and are caused by our high rate of growth. Sometimes the topics are controversial and the debates can get heated, but I personally don't harbor any ill will towards anyone here, even if they personally attack me by suggesting that I don't know what I'm talking about. I will respond in kind, though.

Isn't this what Surley is for?

The format / structure of the SSP forum is pretty frustrating - stuck in the early 00s. I wish there were a better way to separate debate discussion from project updates, just as I wish there were a way to easily see all the renderings of a project without having to page back through the thread. It forces a lot of sifting/scrolling, especially when a handful of users spin off into a long debate.

I disagree with all of you about everything! I also disagree with myself! So I'm very confused! That's why I'm shouting!

I'm afraid social media has primed everyone to have a negative rapport behind the keyboard, thus making most combative and stupid. I wish a solar flare would wipe out the servers

The good thing about this site being based on 1990s tech is that it's probably immune to solar flares!

How come this forum so boring? It has like 3 people who average about 5 posts a week each. All this in a forum dedicated to an epic boomtown like Austin. I guess all y'all too busy to contribute.

Anywho, thanks ATX and Urbanizer and the handful of other peeps that regularly contribute.

Peace!

And Kevin rides his bicycle all around Travis County and Environs so far out into the boondocks that few people have ever seen them, to bring you a perspective of the active growth of the Austin Skyline that few other people have ever seen. He must be exhausted from the thousands of miles he has logged and the ambushes from the countless natives from The Homeless Zone he has encountered! You ungrateful wench!
And have you ever seen the number of postings of other SPFs from cities of roughly comparable sizes to Austin? (This does not include cities such as Phoenix, San Jose, and San Antonio, which have no real needs for SPFs.)

I envision KevinFromTexas as the ninja dude from that show Kung Fu, except he travels around on a bicycle.
