Ya know...
You really don't have to look at all the threads posted in BDF. I rarely do because rarely do any of the threads sound like they will do me any good.
Even the ones that sound somewhat interesting rarely have anything that I consider to be of value. In fact, now that I think about it, I can't think of anything I read in the BDF that particularly benefited me (other than this thread). And I can only wonder if anything I posted benefited anyone else.
Somehow I don't think it is just about looking at threads. Post something and people brutally attack you, make all kinds of assumptions, level false accusations against you, repeatedly accusing you of things you did not do or say, berate you for having an opinion, call you mean and nasty if you defend yourself, and all kinds of ridiculous nonsense. Should this stop us from standing up and speaking truth to lies? I for one say no 
The ignore button is there for a reason. When people become too arrogant and abusive for me to stomach, I use that option.

Hmph! Why does literally everyone else besides me have such nice Visitor Messages? Life's not fair... *crosses her arms and makes the grumpiest tsundere face ever*
Have you been writing a lot of visitor messages on other people's pages?
The majority of visitor messages I get are replies to things I've written to other people. Generally, if you want messages... you have to do A LOT of initiating (or at least, this has been my experience.)
I know you were talking about your lack of visitor messages in another post as well... The best advice I could offer is to write nice things on other people's pages, and they'll usually make a reply--although sometimes they will reply to your message on their own message board rather than yours. Sometimes they don't write back, either... and really, it's not a big deal.
Also, keep in mind, your account is still "fairly" new--many of the people with a lot of visitor messages have been here a while and have gotten to know several members over time. Who do you know here that you could write a cool message to, and most likely get a reply from?
Best wishes!

Another thing I have noticed is that people resent it if they disagree with you and then others come and agree with you, and disagree with them. Then the people that agree with each other are accused of ganging up on others, as if we have no right to agree with those we do unless we agree with the person who is making false accusations. If they agree with others they do not call themselves a gang that is unfairly ganging up on the person they are against for whatever reason.

Some people also have a good flow of messages going with people they know well on the forum, and like to "harass" (tease and joke with) on their visitor pages.
Don't feel too badly
. It's easy to miss the "Visitor Messages" tab because many people have it disabled in their profiles, so it doesn't even show up.
Yeah, lll generally just avoid any thread that I dont feel that Id have anything productive or informative to say in it : p I might read some if the title grabs my interest but even then I wont post unless the junk I wrote ^there.
I dont seem to have the problem that many others do with this forum, people disagree on most things, and sometimes theyll talk about it, and the ways they can disagree with each other can be un-good. But I dont really believe this forum is really this toxic dump filled with rage and anger, as others seem to. Even if someone makes me grumpy on here, Im usually pretty good at keeping it at that conversation and leaving it there : p
I agree that if a thread is really bothering you that much, dont read it : p
