A little love out to my friend Mike, who brings much admired mojo with his far too infrequent posts.

Long time members can get crabby. It comes with the territory. Long time members also know that you never, ever, put the word "etiquette" in a thread title.

Moon! Come back! It was all in jest!

And I do enjoy Mike's sporadic posts and comments.

poor etiquette indeed

While I don't do a lot of +1ing, it doesn't bother me that much. Someone could just put why they are +1ing or liking the post. "Really like that color", "What a great ribbon", "Looks much better than most of your hats", etc.

There are many other things that get under my skin after being here for so long. Luckily, the new forum format has made the reposting of photos much easier to swallow. There is still the new thread on a subject that has already been done 50 times....

Thanks for letting me share my opinion and straightening me out. I'll just continue to lurk and occasionally post for my own twisted reasons

You always have great posts Mike ! I loved the trip too , it was like I was there almost . Everyone has opinions , you know . I'm sorry of getting way off topic , sorry , I don't realize until I look back and wished I'd posted that somewhere else , too late . I use likes at times as a term of gratitude for having the kahonies to post , especially pictures! That's tough , embarrassing to me , I'm no movie star , don't have a bunch of super fine hats , and can't take a good picture to save my life . I don't know how people do it . ... Rabbit trails ...

-1 to all that's been posted so far.

I am a moderator on the NY Giants forum on Giants.com.... and believe me gentlemen who enjoy hats are much more of a pleasure to deal with than football fans .... speaking of the same subject that has been discussed 50 times

The "What hat are you wearing..." thread has 100,814 replies. I wonder how many are +1 (or "brim is too narrow")?

[Bob Roberts]

ha!!

the trolleys don't even bother me as much as this

I like to open a thread to read a little info or at the very least semi amusing banter, anecdotes , or a quick light hearted snarky comment

I do expect the +1s to increase now that this thread exists though

Would I do that just to bust yer chops...?

 

[Bob Roberts]

My problem with the "Like" button is that using it helps to bury the thread since it doesn't count as a post which is what keeps threads alive. "Like"-ing is also too Facebooky for my taste, I look to the Lounge for education not social media popularity or chatty purposes. Also not having a "Don't Like" button seems a bit un-American to me (he said cynically). Personally, I boycott the "Like" button, so please don't hate me (he said cynically again)

+1...

 

[Bob Roberts]

it's still there

how odd that you connect respect to the length of membership

as if no one ever had a hat or knew anything about hats until they joined this forum

why not just respect everyone ?

SNERK! ( never heard that till Fruno called me one.)

 

[Bob Roberts]

I agree and am guilty of that ... but off topics I think are sometimes interesting departures ... and they always revert back to topic

if you can find a forum where every thread stays strictly on topic I have some ocean front property in Arizona for you

Need a roomie...?

 

[moontheloon]

Bah... the "like" button is too much like social media ... which is exactly what an internet forum is

people rip teenage girls for taking selfies all day

let's all be honest and say that the "what HAT are you wearing today" thread and a few others are basically the same exact thing just for middle aged men

a good portion of the time I barely even see a hat in the pictures ...

 

[Bob Roberts]

Boys, BOYS!!! Play nice! You guys are both GREAT; good folks abound here, (except for you-know-who...) and that's the way it is!!

We all have feelings. Isn't it generally best to keep less-than-positive judgments/comments to ourselves.? So, unless you judge a hat to be great, etc., let's not second guess each other's perspectives or opinions. That won't go anywhere good.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me..."

This reads like a scene from "Goodfellas" sorta like, "... boys ya both said a few things..."

In other words "The Hat Parade."

But I sure notice when a poster wears a wide ribbon with a tee shirt!

From now on I'll stick strictly to the specs of the hat.
