cricket Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Is it true that if no one responds to my post that all are in agreement with me? Is it true that if no one responds to my post that it means no one cares? Or, are there other possibilities?? How can anyone know what "silence" from the others means? Quote
Administrators Gail Posted August 15, 2006 Administrators Posted August 15, 2006 Could mean different things... I wonder, too, especially when a post I make kills a thread <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Moderators Bravus Posted August 16, 2006 Moderators Posted August 16, 2006 <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> It can mean all sorts of things, I think, including that some of us might have decided our Real LifeĀ needs a little more attention than it was getting! I know it's frustrating when a post doesn't get a followup, and part of that frustration is exactly this uncertainty: what does it *mean*. I try to remind myself that it means no-one has written a followup. <img src="/adventist/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Quote Truth is important

The topic may just not interest me. There's a certain party in this forum that whenever he/she starts a thread, it touches raw nerve and I almost always respond to it. [/] </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr /> Is it true that if no one responds to my post that it means no one cares? <hr /></blockquote><font class="post"> [:"blue"]Not necessarily. I may care, but just not interesting enough to get involved in. [/] </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr /> Or, are there other possibilities?? <hr /></blockquote><font class="post"> [:"blue"]Certainly. May be short of time. On vacation. Not a dues-paying member & can't respond in certain sections. Another may think their opinion doesn't count. Some may be afraid of ridicule. Many possibilities! [/] </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr /> How can anyone know what "silence" from the others means? <hr /></blockquote><font class="post"> [:"blue"]Ask. Even then, some may not be forthright enough. [/] Gerry Quote
