ForumGarden

After several months' practice I have now refined "being agreeable on Internet forums" down to a fine art. The trick, I have discovered, is to agree with what everyone says (which especially involves not contradicting) and invariably emote over domesticated-animal-related fluff.

We should all have a try at the same time. Thursday 4th May.

If it works we can progress to having a Being Agreeable On ForumGarden Day on the first Thursday of every third month with an annual award ceremony for outstanding achievements.

I don't like it.

I agree entirely with what you say but my word you've a lot of practicing scheduled.

I wish we had a kitten avatar we could play with.

fine fine, yep lets do it.

But I don't want a kitten I want a bunny. Ooops sorry, yes lets have a kitten what a lovely, fluffy idea (spot you and your fluff, stop it now)

lol

Using a fluffy kitten might provoke claims that the site is speciesist and possibly even a complaint from PETA. That could cause some non-nice comments. On top of that, you may find that some pushback from the Star Wars fans complaining about you trying to co-opt their special day.

We have a number of bunny wabbits in the fields around the house. I could shoot one for you. No trouble 'tall. Where should I have it shipped?

23rd April's a good day for me.

I'm delighted with the positive spirit of cooperation from all sides of this thread. We shall undoubtedly consider your suggestion in detail at a later stage.

Ahhhh, i was wondering about the tongue in cheek sarcasm of your posts.

Can anyone recommend a good reference book for being agreeable on the Internet?

Thanks. I'll check it out.

From that article, that's me right there!! Everyone agree ? :-2:-3

Psych Your Mind: The Importance of Being Agreeable

'Agreeableness captures how interpersonally warm, trusting, modest, altruistic, cooperative, straightforward, sympathetic, and easygoing you are, and is one of the building blocks of personality'.

I especially agree with the "modest".

If I wasn't so modest I would be perfect.

I must disagree, May fourth is Star Wars day..

"May The Fourth Be With You"

I too will be celebrating Star Wars on that date (tomorrow), however I would like to nominate myself for the Outstanding Achievements award, referencing an award I received yesterday from a well-known and respected source (Facebook) which I will quote:

"V----" (or Zap) "You have the greatest heart! No matter what happens, you will never leave your loved ones in the lurch. You'll never stop loving even when you have to leave this earth!"

I think that qualifies for "agreeable", does it not?

I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE! .....LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!

LEMME OUT!LEMME OUT!:yh_nailbi:yh_nailbi:yh_cry

I managed all day to be agreeable. I never said one thing about the fiasco perpetrated by the republicans in Congress, yesterday, or that Orange-haired Huckster.

I do, however, need to replenish my supply of Woodford Reserve on the morrow.

Agreeableness comes at a cost, it seems.

Would you like me to soothe your worried brow with a cold compress?
