I've noticed an ongoing theme with a lot of the replys to posts on this site. Somebody will ask a question or say something about their favorite fetish...then half the posts are from people making smart ass comments or degrading them. Why not just skip to the next post if you don't like one or have nothing positive to say. Enough with the holier than thou bullshit.
greenhouse, I understand your point, but I have to say that overall ADT is one of the best forums I have come across.
Yes, it is annoying when people just take a cheap shot at you, particularly when you have taken the time and effort to initiate a discussion, but I find that it is not that common here.
Most people here seem genuinely interested in porn, and it's great to hear different points of view.
Some of the experienced people here put up some great thought-provoking posts, which I always enjoy reading.

I only come to ADT for the smart ass comments. There haven't been nearly enough lately. More smart ass comments please, people!
doesn't take long for you to get your point proven does it.I've been coming to this site for years and been registered a long time(years) finally figured out it just doesnt pay to contribute your thoughts.with that said I still read all the smartass retorts and base most of my movie rentals and purchases from the info I get here.thanks assholes
You have to realize that people are just kidding most of the time with the smart ass remarks. The board *is* about porn but it's also a community of people who have gotten to know each other and who like to prod a reaction out of each other.
If you post a question and nobody has a serious answer, it's probably because nobody knows the answer. The people here try to be helpful when they can be.
I think this is a great board. One of the best I've ever been on. Maybe some people go a bit far sometimes but still.
It's a great board, I agree. You take the good with the bad. We live in an increasingly more sarcastic world where smart-arsedness is de rigeur. It can be very entertaining. Humour's a very subjective thing. I'd rather watch people go 'a bit far' as you say than constantly read the same banal words of earnest adoration. If we can eschew malice and a desire to wound, then everything else should be open game.

Don't get me wrong, I like a funny comments and all, I just don't like someone trying to make somebody feel small or inferior because they have different tastes.
if those comments are way out of the line, the user usually gets deactivated. i haven't found it to be much of a problem. i enjoy the serious and the sarcastic responses.
I rather concur on this approach. The problem is you'll always get people who take it all so terribly seriously, as if they some mighty gravitas to the discussion of porn...
