I am a relatively new poster and tho I have been made to feel very welcome at this site I have to admit that there are times that i think some people are a bit to harsh about things. Such as the post about the pizza place that closed down but it turned out it hadn’t. I mean I am new to this forum thing but it seems to me like there are some cynics out there that are especially wary of trolls. It could have just been a guy that made an honest mistake. I do think that there are sopme posters that are just too lazy to do a search but I have to say that there have been times I haven’t fund what i was looking for by googling it.
I made a thread a couple weeks back I think it was about recipes for the freezer. I could have just been told to google it, which I had, but I wanted ideas that peopel had actually tried and liked. I am sorry if I offended anyone by not just googling it or making people think I that I am just lazy and don’t want to search it myself. As far as that goes a lot of things on the recipes forum especially could be found just by googling it.
I am sure that there are some buttheads out there tha only post on here to start something or try to make people look stupid but I am sorry really is it that big of a deal? Who really cares if some random goober on the internet gets their jollies from thinking they are having people search for soemthing they could search for themselves or making comments about something that can be found out 2 minutes later isn’t true.
To be quite honest I would rather help 100 people that don’t really need it then to turn away someone who has a genuine question because I think they are ‘trolling’.
Just my humble opinion of course
