ive a reputation for being a straight shooter, so ill be honest, feeling included in this thread is about participation. if you just interject in the middle of a conversation, people are gonna default to whatever they were already doing. if you don't participate, you will continue to feel ignored. I'd love for you to participate more and it's a pretty simple fix to being ignored (although easier said than done). if you don't wanna be in the thread, by all means, step back. if you wanna be in the thread, just engage with whatever randomness is occurring.
