as simple and shocking as this may be... people here may not be interested in financial discussions and more interested in discussions about racial and social standards or simply porn.
I posted a GD thread about The Fed bailout Bear Stearns, should they bail you out too? 19 posts and 215 page views. I tried to keep it very simple. Not many people were interested in discussing it. I don't take it personally. I try to find another way of crafting an OP to discuss it. If people aren't interested in it here, they aren't interested. I can't force someone to discuss a thread any more than you can.
I suggest to you is that you not give up and try a different tact in getting readers and responses to your posts. Maybe start small and educate people a bit more and then debate them at that level you've educated them.
If you want to take your show on the road, that's your choice. I'm not trying to drive you there. I value every member of the board as each one teaches me something. |
Thank you, Cynthetiq, I want to stay here. I liked the diversity of opinion, here, and I still do.
You're correct, you cannot "make" people interested if they don't have a tendency, in a given subject, and you do have to discuss an issue at a level of proficiency of those who decide to participate....I do need to work on that.
Maybe a thread title.... Gasoline to reach $10/gal soon! would be a better way to frame either your Bear Stearns thread, or this thread. That is what I think that this "process"....the bailouts, is intended to take us to.
I am going to post a thread or two, simultaneously, identically, here and at Kos in the next few days. I am fascinated, because of the experience with this thread...in comparing the way the same presentation and content is received here, vs. there.
