Any thing by Lauren, I've blocked her, but all the threads the last few days are ripping Hillary, judging by her titles.

I only read on my phone using tapatalk so it's always a mystery to me who started a thread. However, once I open it up and see who started the thread I may not proceed further if it's a select few peas. I just know from experience that the thread is not for me. I skip the political threads. When I do open one its always a reminder why I skip them. As much as I want to shake most PVM posters, I can't resist reading to see if anyone agrees with me. I'm rarely on the validate bench. I use Tapatalk too and it always has the name of the pea showing in orange above the title of the thread. Thank goodness because there are several peas I don't care to read at all! I don't open political threads and posts on reality tv shows. I also won't read anything about homeschooling because as a parent who homeschooled two sons I get too angry over the judgements that inevitably come from anti-homeschool know-it-alls. (See, that's a really hot topic, button pusher for me! ) Maybe it's because I read using the Timeline. I can only see the name of the last poster on a thread until I open it. |

I forgot, I also don't open the TMI threads and most of the would you eat this threads. 90% of the time, yes I would so it's silly for me to even open them  And the diagnose me threads, I'm not a doctor or a nurse, I have no idea what is happening to someone else! |

It doesn't matter to me if others name or don't name who they block. People here post freely and what others post or don't post doesn't obligate me to follow what they do or don't do. It isn't rude, especially when compared to what others post. What skin is it off your nose if I block Lauren or if I post that I have her blocked? Based on your responses on the Lauren "bash Hillary" thread, I'm not surprised by your post. |

Baaaaaa I don't care who you block and neither does anyone else, but your post was no different than a call out thread which is considered very bad form here. It's considered very rude and shit stirring. I have no idea what you're trying to say here. |

I'm an equal opportunity thread opener. I even open threads of tv shows and movies I don't plan on watching just so I can see what people are saying.

Etc. people, give us a clue what it's about, you'll probably get a lot more input that way! guilty. I'm gonna change my ways...I promise  |

I don't have any particular topics that I won't venture into, but there are some posters whose writing style and/or bad grammar habits I just can't do. They make my brain scream.

I forgot to add - threads asking for prayers. I don't pray but I could offer support, positive thoughts etc but.... I kind of resent the assumption that everyone prays although I realise it's probably done without thinking rather than in an exclusionary way.

My curious nature makes me want to open most threads. I can't really think of any that I don't open. I don"t open in order of the threads,but by the interest at that particular moment. but I noticed that I do read 80%.

Ones with links to videos or stories about child abuse, bullying, animal abuse or neglect or abuse of the elderly or someone with a disability. It hurts my heart too much and there are times in life you can't not see it or hear about it but I can choose not to open threads.
Political threads for the most part.

I think I'll open almost any topic thread if I have lots of time on my hands, and am in the mood. Often, I misread the title and am surprised when I DO open the thread. It's a little disappointing sometimes that the real thread doesn't live up to my misread title.  |

Usually I don't open threads about: -- veganism -- TV shows, except for "Survivor" and "Amazing Race" -- knitting/crocheting/sewing -- politics, until this election  -- movies -- often the book ones, because I already have too many books that I want to read -- threads by one particular person There's also one type of thread that I might open after hovering over the title, but then I'll close right out of it. That's the thread that has a HUGE WALL of words to read and/or "Person A said to B that C did such and such but then C told D and now B is mad at G..." omg. lol |

You open a thread that you're very interested in, and it's verryyy long---- but the paragraphs aren't indented.  My poor eyes just can NOT handle that !!!! |

--if it has to do with pets, particularly dogs, I typically am not interested.
--quilting (don't quilt) or pretty much any other craft besides scrapbooking or photography
--big brother or other tv show threads
--I don't read the cooking threads often but I should since I like to find new recipes, tips, tricks and ideas.
--Disney

-TV shows I don't watch
-TMI threads
-Would you eat this?
-Birthday (except on my birthday. Thank you!)
-Abuse threads (any living creature)
-Travel threads about places I've never been and have no wish to go
-Political threads (unless they are really long then I peek to see if someone has had a nutty)
-Where someone's mother has died. (I send heartfelt condolences through the air as I scroll past, but my own dear mother died years ago and I simply can't read the thread)

I want to know how many people who posted on this thread back in June that they wouldn't open Instant Pot Threads ended up buying one on Prime Day in July and are now opening those threads? LOL!  (we are glad you drank the Kool Aid). |

I usually like political threads but I'm not opening that "Naked Trump" thread. There is nothing there I want to see.

Interesting question. In general, I skip
vegan
pet
travel
shows I don't watch
vote for me
brags of any kind (kids, spouse, etc.)
most political threads
parenting when referring to girls (I have 2 boys, so I have no insight, lol)
books (only because my list of books to read is already too long)
I think that's about it. Of course, like someone mentioned, if anyone of those types goes past 4 pages, I definitely want to know why!
ETA: sex threads (just don't want to know)

I open all of them eventually but after reading the OP I close a lot of them. ETA: Didn't realize this was an old thread. I have already posted this once. |
