Hey don't take what I said the wrong way. I'm not trying to argue. If someone started a thread here about video games, they'd probably find a gamer or two here. Those people would already be into video games, but I don't think anyone joins a cycling forum to talk about gaming.jrstevens said:You're probably right. People on spirtual searches probably don't engage in other activities . I never stated that this was a hugely popular thread just that there are more people viewing than contributing and there's a possibility that one of them could be on a spiritual search.
But religion on the other hand, ever since I've been a member of this forum, there has always been some sort of religious thread going on in the cafe. And I'd estimate that 90% of the time (if not more) the person who started it had never posted here before. To me this suggests that the motivation of the person starting the thread was to discuss religion and not cycling.
Once the previous religion thread dies, someone else starts a new one quickly. I see this as a form of spam, but I guess I can't complain too much, because no one is forcing me to click on it. Sometimes the thread title will be disguised to hide its intent, and I click on it anyway (as intended), but I'm free to avoid it after that.
I guess like a train wreck, I find it hard to look the other way.
But I honestly don't mean to sour the thread. If someone does that, it won't be me.
