shrug whatever.

I think it's largely become known as a forum for degenerates. I'm not sure why people seem to be taking such offense to my disliking craigslist.

And good for you guy, i'm glad you've found so much use out of craiglist. Me, i've done just fine without it.

I think your understanding of the usage of craigslist is wrong........ - ty97 Jul 22, 14:51
I've hired our last 2 nannies through Craigslist. -- nm - pmb Jul 22, 14:51 3
- Discussion over. Admit you don't know what you're talking about, Sceire. -- nm - mara Jul 22, 14:53

In this tough economy, it would be foolish to shun CL for the reasons you state. Esp for Stacey, which is the origin of this topic. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:49
i don't use it myself, but i know good people who do for above-board purposes. - b. Jul 22, 14:49 7

  - i'm done. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 15:00
  - I'm not offended, I just find your view of the site laughably inaccurate. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:59
- and craigslist as a site has a very good, efficient system for eliminating a lot of the fraudulent, exploitive, or otherwise 'unclean' stuff - Guy Jul 22, 14:50 3
  - this is true. the degenerates keep to their own little holes there. - znufrii Jul 22, 14:51 2
    - so to speak -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 14:52
    - *sets down joke road flares* -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:52
degenerates like "veterinary assistant", "property manager", or "network engineer"? (three job titles I grabbed from SF CL posted today) - Reagen Jul 22, 14:47 1
- SF? I think that 'veterinary assistant' is code for stage manager at a donkey show. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:52
i disagree - i don't think it's 'largely known as a forum for degnerates" - everyone i know uses it. to promote a service (pet sitting, etc), buy - Andie Jul 22, 14:45 23
- Only me? woohoo! - Stephen Jul 22, 14:47 2
  - i wouldn't say only you, but it's only you here. - b. Jul 22, 14:52
  - when was the last time you visited CL? Have you ever? -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:48
- agreed, I'm the freak for not using it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:46
- Granted, sell electronics = those I ripped out of car dashes...but still. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:46 18
  - just out of curiousity - if you wanted to get rid of some crap, but not enough for a garage sale, would you actually run an ad in the newspaper? -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:47 2
    - Hell no. I've used CL. I just am in joke mode. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:48 1
      - oh. heh. carry on then. :) -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:49
  - you guys seriously don't understand craigslist (which is fine, whatever.) -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:46 14
    - I'm kidding with all this. I didn't realize CL was so heavy in jobs, but at the same point, I'd use whatever I could - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:49
    - they both sound like crotchety old men talking about that degenerate rock and roll music. haha -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:47 12
      - like the people who refuse to join FB? -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:47 11
        
        ahem. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:50 1
        
        I'm just teasing. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:52
        
        much more so, because craigslist has a very useful purpose whereas FB is more of fun and entertainment -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:48 8
        
        it's getting to be a must for networking. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:52 6
        
        alot of companies ban it so I coubt you mean work networking -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:55 3
        
        i read a story the other week that some companies who had banned it have subsequently reinstated access due to business uses. - b. Jul 22, 14:57 1
        
        here it is. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 22, 14:59
        
        I do mean work networking. it depends what business you're in. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:57
        
        fair point - it has its usefuleness as well, but not in the general purpose sense that CL does -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:54 1
        
        it's not exactly the same, that's why it's an *analogy*. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:55
        
        FB is quite big in journalism circles as a way of finding contacts. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:49
