I'll pass on this. I think this is exactly the kind of thing that widens divisions between people on forums such as these.

I was thinking that about a couple of questions. Some are fun and complimentary. Others a bit nasty - like who would be the neighbor you would avoid, and whose kids would be the neighborhood bully.

I wouldn't want to be answering questions like that in a Kick Back thread. :no:

Even the complementary ones concern me. Sure, it's nice to be on the right end of those, but it's the kind of thing that re-inforces cliques.

Some of the funny one's are good. I think the key to things like this is not to choose questions that result in people being placed in the in-crowd or the outsiders.

We're all friends here aren't we? :)

"Cliques" are always going to form to some extent. You cannot avoid the fact that some people are naturally drawn to each other and become better friends then others. It's not necessarily a bad thing, if it doesn't get out of hand and start getting snobby.

That said, there is still no reason to put up divisive questions that are simply asking you to insult someone else.

I'm the neighbor that everyone else talks about.

No, not that way. :rolleyes:

We've already established that I have no life.

No, they would all get together to ask:

"Will she ever cut her lawn .... rake her leaves ... shovel the snow?

At the end of the meeting, the response is the same:

"No, but she will babysit in a pinch. Let's help her out."

My effin god, this is a fun thing thats all and you some of you just can't help but pick on it.

I didn't come up with it, one of my friends did on another baord, where we had fun with it. I even edited some out. like the querstions "Most likely to be a terrorist" and "Most likely to be the sleazy old man?" questions

I try to have something fun and you people are too bloody stuborn and determended to find any thing that miught be a hidden insult.

If you afraid to insult someone with the "Nasty" questions. just put me in there. at least I know it's fun and games. and won't get all uptight and pissy about it.

Everyone I want this thread to remain on topic and not turn into another attack festival. As far as I've seen so far the only negativity in this thread is the speculation between Minuet and STC about the possibility of posters becoming negative in this thread.

If you don't like a question don't answer it.

Maybe our neighbourhood should be a flat or appartements? Or maybe the houses should stand in a circle, that way we dont have to choose our neighbours, were all neighbours to each other :D

Let's make it the circle thing then, that way only two neighbours will be annoyed by our noise. ;)

Bonja, could I please make the request that the more negative questions be edited out of the first post.

I do see how this could be a fun thread with most of the questions. But questions like "5.Who would be the annoying neighbor you'd always try to avoid?' and "9.Who's kids would be the neighborhood bullies?" are just asking for trouble.

Thank you.

It wasn't negativity. It was a word of caution on my part with respect to what can happen on questionnaires such as that one. It certainly wasn't an attack. The thread has not taken that direction.

To clear things up - rowskid, I wouldn't infer that you had bad intentions for one moment. I was just speaking from experience as to where these things lead. I actually enjoyed a lot of your questions. A little editing and this could be fun :D

I don't intend the thread to go O/T but bonja your post warranted a reply. So please don't feel you (or anyone else for that matter) need to reply to me here.

If you wish to for any reason, I'm happy for you to PM me :)
