    Life Cycle of a Forum

    I confess I am new to the bizarre and freakish world of internet forum posting. Even though I just joined 6 months ago I feel I have observed something interesting.

    First and foremost if you post in the morning and respond before 12 noon you are more likely to get into an adult conversation and actually share some thoughts.

    Starting around 4pm it changes. Things get snarky and eventually become hostile. I also notice the morning is where your more conservative level headed folks chime in.

    I can only imagine the afternoon is when others start sleeping off their drunk or coming down off the meth but it is a clear pattern.

    This is evident in Society at whole. We know that you can walk through the most violent neighborhoods in America from 8am to 12 noon and never have an issue. The worm starts to turn after 3pm though. I feel our forum has the same clock.

    Thoughts....

    Or they get home from their jobs about then. But yes, eventually the bitterness, name calling and intolerance takes over an people move on to other forums.

    You are odd.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Well, all the forum's angry old men are on circle jerking each other off in their happy echo chamber place. Once people who actually have jobs and open minds come on that harshes their mellow and they get angry and abrasive.

    Perhaps... but I have seen disagreement in the early hours, but not the hostility
