Even people who want better discussions or are critical of the ones I mentioned will respond to these mindless threads if for no other reason, the lack of actual discussion being present and their want of discussing something (anything) at all. The want for any sort of discussion usually outweighs the hate for mindless and stupid conversation.Therein lies the problem. If people wish to reply for the sake of replying, that is just as bad, if not worse, then threads that accomplish little. It is not the threads that are the problem, but the behavior of the users that promote them. If the userbase truly wanted these threads gone, they would simply not respond to them in the first place.
There is no need to remove problem threads for a flawed userbase.
Feed a pack of hungry lions roadkill, and they will eat it. It's not the lions' faults that they're eating roadkill, it's what they're being fed. It's what they have to eat when they're in the dark room they live in when they're not busy ripping apart and eating each other.
But, given a choice between nice, juicy antelope and roadkill, it will go for the nice, juicy antelope, and recognize that it likes that antelope a lot more than it does roadkill.
But it is not the lions' faults that they eat roadkill when there is nothing else offered.Lions need to eat. Users don't need to post.So my analogy wasn't perfect down to the last parallel.
Sue me.
