Seems an unwritten rule has developed that almost all "fun" posts in the adult forum must be in established threads? What is the big deal about making a new thread that somewhat echoes posts in other threads? Seems there were a number of threads in PPR about SOPA, and few had problems with that as far as I know.

Seems same is true of "serious" posts. I learned to avoid threads that disgust me, so I don't put serious posts in long-established threads, either. I might have made too many posts one weekend a few weeks ago or so, and I admit that. I did PM a mod about it after some comments, and the reply I got was "don't worry about it, just don't get too spammy". Seems he did not think that I was violating TOS any too severely.

Starting to seem a clique, now, I admit, because you have to go by their unwritten rules--not the old reason of several months ago in which many threads were "hijacked".

Haters gonna hate.

I have made several posts that werent liked/were avoided by most people and its just something that you have to face when you are sharing something.

Try to avoid thinking too much about it.

Contacting this person that found your thread upsetting instead of a mod that probably isnt aware of this persons ideas on your thread would be helpfull as well

I've had other comments that made me feel unwelcome to post there, as if there is some unwritten rule that you must take part in the chat threads in order post in that forum in general.

I did PM the person the person who seemed to suggest my threads were "too much" there, especially for a person like me. Didn't do much good. She said she wasn't the person bothered but that others do.

Yeah, I do tend to dwell a lot on this type of this thing because of my anxiety disorder(s). Maybe just making this thread is all I need to do to get past it.

I had the same problem too when I posted often in the adult section few years ago. I got crap from people. I would post threads and I get negative reactions. But my threads were no different than others and it would piss me off I was being singled out. I would post threads just to piss those people off because I hated being discriminated. Then one day someone told me it's not what I post, it's what I say in them or how I say it. That explained the crap I got.

Now I seldom post in it. I seem to not know how to talk right in it and I might get too graphic without realizing it.

You have a choice to write 'piss me off' and 'got crap from people'. Using those sorts of expression is pretty graphic to a lot of folks, I can't say I know anyone IRL that expresses themselves like that, so seeing it in a post is pretty graphic to me.

Just because your opinions upset some people does not meant that they're wrong, either - some people are just easily upset when they see an opinion that is different from their own.

especially if the sentiment is positioned where it could be seen an assault of a dearly held belief or if the way one makes their point seems to call judgement on said opinion. People that have problems with social skills anyway are often offended just because they are disturbed from their routine and are trapped into dealing a (or any) social situations

Yeah, I see that a lot when people seem more interested in being believed than in being truthful.
