How do you feel about OT posts?

so I don't offend no one.

I don't think anybody has to worry THAT much about it.
Some people post more OT than others, and some probably go a bit overboard from time to time. But I don't know of anyone who does it so offensively that they should feel the need to exile themselves from the regular threads.
I think this poll has helped to raise awareness, and clearly there are a range of opinions. But most people seem to fall somewhere in the middle, and rules about what constitute "somewhere in the middle" are hard to write and hard to enforce uniformly. In most cases, like Susie said, it just takes a bit of common sense.

Agreed!
I agreed with another new member that it is difficulty to know where to start with a forum, when it is as busy as this one. There are sometimes 30/40 pages of posts since the thread was started, and much as I'd love to read through them all, I just don't have time and want to join in NOW! So, keeping a thread on topic helps us new guys join in the discussion. If it goes off topic halfway through, well, we're lost.

I tried a little experiment this morning....posting where two people who on THIS thread complained about being left out were posting. Did they respond to me?
No.
Souxi, you dont like reading 'drivel'? well I consider this obsession with Hugh to be drivel...yet here we are talking about him....and it is ok with you. So your drivel is ok....just not everyone elses?
Cameron, Thank you for sharing that. Nice to know how you feel. Sometimes all it takes is to let people know how you feel.

Deary me we are grouchy today. ::) I,m not obsessed with Hugh fgs, I just think he,s gorgeous. I might harp on about him a bit, but I don,t post endless pages and pages of stuff about him and take over entire threads about him do I? And your missing the point. I only object to endless pages of drivel when it takes over the entire post and you end up loosing site of what it was about in the first place.

I thought the one with I view... would be more Ok, but on second thought that too is limited!! So, I clicked on the last after that! And here is my explanation, oui, oui, yes, yes!!
I do not want Bettermost to become a con game for any member nor non-member; I want and demand FREEDOM!! Since we are in democratic countries, and for humanity!!!!
With free speech we, all of us, can advance further and further such as thruth, democraties, life, love...
Of course some words like mine are, at times, be seen as irksome, at first; and, likewise is such from others too!! So far, from negatives, come out the richness to enrich the World on Bettermost: by and for gays and non-gays, female and ladies issues, straight or others, etc., for all subjects!!
It is better to understand when we quote Annie's story or the Brokeback Mountain movie...but since we feel more confortable therin, we all (or many) of us learn and educate in wondrous loving ways as Ennis, Jack, and others did - with the exception of the murderers!! You want some samples?? Stability searched, and peace results in us all too!!
Much can and need to be said on Bettermost, when you let us all FREE!!
Hugs!! Qu'est-ce sera, sera; whatever will be, will be... as your song and mine go on!!

Well, with a couple of exceptions, there is freedom of speech on BetterMost. Those exceptions involve personal attacks, pictures with nudity and sexually explicit written material.
Aside from those things, you can say anything you like. What we're discussing here is not whether you can say something, but where.
