Title: lots of new female posters, what brought you our way?
Post by: JustKari on October 23, 2012, 10:15:07 AM
I have been posting since August, and rare is the day that I don't at least read everything posted.  I posted a lot more prior to three weeks ago when lumpling #4 was born.  I found this site via google search for "conservative forum".  I was feeling rather alone before I found this place.  :laugh:  So, what brought you?

My guess would be that they are tired of being used as pawns by the left and want to be allowed to think for themselves for a change.

The "If you have a vagina, the GOP wants you to die" crap grew really old and stale overnight.

I hope no one finds that offensive. :blink:

Are you kidding?  It seems that the trend these days is to see how insulting you can be to other people.  Well, that's not me.  i had rather leave than to get down on that level.  Oh, i've had my moments when I was not only tempted but followed thru on the hateful side of me.  i can tell you, it does not make for a sense of real accomplishment to give in and "join the crowd".

I agree, it seems that a lot of non-conservatives get very emotional and vitriolic.  I try very hard not to take the bait.

What I was really wondering though is, did you know someone here, find a trackback, or Google search?  I think Solar is right, it is hard to find a place where you are not constantly on the offensive.

All I did was Google "Conservative forums" and this is the first one that popped up.  I usually read before I join to see if there is nastiness on board. I don't mean to sound like I'm goody two shoes but I just draw the line at mental abuse.  I've already zeroed in on one silly heart like myself.  It makes my day to be lighthearted and have fun.  I can be serious but who wants to be serious all the time?  You can do either and still be kind.
Goupstate was my forum for years as is GaffneySC.proboards.com.  Both great forums but Goupstate went downhill until they shut it down for whatever reason.  i think it was the overall mood which got rough.  The Gaffney forum has always been a milder kind of forum and nobody gets upset there.

Cool, welcome!  I just like the atmosphere here, some people here go to LNF, I tried reading there, and just didn't like it.  Too much egg shell walking, and snark.

Evening Kari - as you may have guessed - I sleep with the owner of the forum.  I go through phases where I post and then go silent for awhile.  This year with the surgery and everything else that is going on for me I just haven't been real motivated.  But today is a new day and I plan on at least checking in at night when I get home from work. 

Solar usually keeps me up to date on what's going on here.   But that doesn't make up for me actually being involved.

Well, our "goupstate forum" closed down, although I did not really look forward to it, I had stuck with it over the years (about 8 years)......getting bashed from one end to the other by the libs, but I learned how to ignor a lot of it, but that was the only way I could get my views out about what was going on in Spartanburg County with politics in general along with everything else.

I'm also on the Gaffney forum under a different name than I am here.  I like that forum also.  Politics is on a board by itself over there so as to hold down too much bickering all over the forum.  The only thread where you can talk politics.

Someone on the forum I was on invited me to this one and another one, but I'm not sure who it was or what their name is here.  This is the first forum I have changed my screen name on.....I have always been something else until this one.   I'm not fond of cats, but I seem to like them for screen names!  Go figure! 

I like it here and have enjoyed it so I guess I'll stay....unless you kick me out.  I do tend to speak my mind.....just ask keyboarder!  So if I get out of line, just walk me back.....the moderators and owners, that is.  I will listen to them. :thumbup: 

I like to have fun!   My hubby and I have grown children.  We have gone over the hill,
down in the vally,  and starting back up again and almost to the top.  Well, let's put it this way, my grandchildren think I am old, although I won't admit it.

I've been here a few weeks and like it  ! :popcorn:

Glad to see you here and have been enjoying your posts.  You fit well with the mindset of the other women here.

Since you mentioned the hubby I now have to rethink what I thought your screen name meant.   :biggrin:
