Alpo Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Let's suppose that someone came here for the first time. Had a question. "What was Cary Grant's real name?" And three people answer almost at the same time, "Archibald Leach". And that's it. The thread basically dies. Two days later a fourth person responds. YOU'RE WELCOME Now this fourth person had not answered the question. He just felt the need to be a little sarcastic, because the original poster had not said thank you for the answers. Do you think he was right in making his sarcastic comment? Or do you feel that since he did not answer the question, he didn't have a dog in this hunt, and therefore had no business on the thread?

Alpo Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Don't stir the pot. That will break the coal up and it will go out. Just let it sit there and smolder, and take a toke every once in awhile to keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Actually it has nothing to do with what goes on around here. It was kind of a hypothetical, wanting to see how the rest of the world thinks. On another board a guy posted a picture of a rifle wanting to know who made it. And over the next maybe three days several of us gave our opinions on who made the gun. It was a sporterized military surplus and it was lousy pictures. And then a couple days go by and there's nothing, and then this morning somebody posted YOUR WELCOME I decided to cut him a break on his misspelling, but I didn't remember him giving any answers. I did a search on the thread and he hadn't, so I couldn't understand why he was upset that the guy had not thanked us for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 IMHO < in my humble opinion , those that seem to feel entitled to a reply when they respond to a question on the net are getting way to "INVOLVED" in their social media space , i believe if the response was of a nature that the OP felt compelled to respond to he can do so but no obligation from my point of view , in this case you cited its a simple google/sirie request and no thanks required , if widder fixed my gun in response to my request id thank him , ive seen a lot of these 'fourth party' critics over the years , sometimes you can politely respond but often they want to stir things anyway and i never feed into those - it irritates the moderators , besides there is no point to those exchanges - they get you nothing in the end , BUT your not going to rid yourself of them , they are on almost every site ive ever been on in over 20 years now , sometimes you just gotta let it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Correct me if I may be wrong, but bear with me, as I explain. I try to read every post made on this Forum [SALOON], when I am actively posting myself. I also make every attempt to read all the responses made to the OP. I can attest to the fact that there have been many posts made where an inquiry is involved. If the inquiry of the OP was of interest to me, (meaning I would have asked the same question), understanding that any Pard who takes the time to post a response either from experience, or from internet research would get either a or a from me to their post. Common courtesy would dictate such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I agree with FKCGG. There have been a few times where someone inquired about a Marlin issue (problem). In response to their issues, I have posted lengthy and detailed information to help them solve the problems. And in most cases, other Wire Pards have joined in with very useful information. It would be nice and respectful if the person seeking the information and help would inform us Wire Pards of the outcome....... whether the gun got fixed or not. Its a good learning tool for all of us to read. I think MOST of us learn from each other on those kind of post and an UPDATE from the 'seeker' would benefit us all. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Sometimes an OP responds with an emoji to a certain specific reply. It is not obvious to others and not completely clear, but may be the only indication as to a successful resolution of a problem. This does thank the helpful responder, but it does not leave good feedback for later searchers with the same problem. This is something I have noted over time when I got the like or noted it almost accidentally. But I have never looked at a thread to see if there was such feedback. And I would not do the 3rd-party "you're welcome," it really does not contribute to the discussion; if the OP was just rude by not coming back, then they are still not coming back. All this said, I do think proper etiquette is to close with a resolution, even if the resolution is to take it to an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Regardless of forethought, there are always those lurking on the edges just waiting for the chance to display their superiority.
