When there's three or four names in a thread

it's usually a pretty good discussion. Unless it's smear-the-queer.

Sometimes parts of a thread delve into a one-on-one discussion, where only two names alternate, that eventually descends into did so/did not, uh-huh/uh-uh. That's a little less fun, sometimes enlightening, usually just gainsaying and naysaing.

But a one-on-self thread? That's like laughing at your own jokes. Oh, wait. He does laugh at his own jokes.

I guess it drowns out the sound of the crickets....

or the voices, or the traffic, perhaps it's the starlings come home to roost, or bats in the belfry.

But so many posts in a solo thread start to have connotations of crayons on the wall of the rubber room.

It's fine and long standing AvT tradition to attract disproportionate number of these types.

Please explain how a topic thread filled with low quality post from different people is superior to a thread where one person creates quality post after quality post? How is such a thread like "crayons on the wall"?

Would I be a better person if I was swayed to and fro by YOUR approval or disapproval? How so?

What you see in me is a person who is much more self-sufficient in The Spirit that you people obviously are. You need each other to create interesting topic threads while I only need a clear connection to Intent and you would have me be like you???? How would that be an improvement?

I don't know about that.

I just keep seeing the chubby, acne-covered kid in high school. I think every school had one. The one that had tried to fit in, failed horribly, so he tried to turn being a misfit into a virtue?
Claimed superiority, intellectual or otherwise, and any number of wild boasts, hoping against hope that some of the cool kids would notice him and give him a chance to explain?

Spent a lot of time claiming that if we were honest, we'd admit...oh, something or other. Who listened?

It's when two human beings use their human atribute and embark on an exchange of ideas and thoughts.

Your pompous self importance aside it's what MBs are all about.

Wanking isn't really sex you know......

Well take my word for it anyway.

And some positive negative reinforcement via focused application of kinetic energy.

Works every time.

Besides my nimbo free diet leaves a gap in my dance card.

I am being sincere in that I dont see how this thread is of higher quality for success than my thread just because different people are posting on it. If you can convince me that being like the rest of you is to my advantage I will indeed change to mirror you and your attitudes. Personally, I dont see myself changing to be like you people. That would be taking giant leaps back to where I used to be many, many. MANY ,MANY years ago.

You're right! I would be less funny if I was like you. :lol

You're right, you are far superior to us.

Just look at your name-calling abilities. Tracydick. Pure brilliance!

So I guess you don't have any reason to be here. You're just wasting your superiority on worthless nobodies. Surely, being SO superior, you have far more important and interesting things to be doing?

Yay for apatheism!

I couldn't tell by the fact that your reply was right under my post.

I know you, you see. I used to be you - when I was about 14. You may well have something interesting to say, but you don't quite know how to say it in such a way that makes anyone take you seriously. It's easier to insult everyone and proclaim your superiority - and everyone else's worthlessness - than admit that maybe you're a bit awkward and don't know what you're doing.

It comes from being a bullying victim. The cool kids, while having nothing really of intelligence or worth to say, are always that much quicker to insult you or cut you off. You can't get a word out to defend yourself because they're too busy shoving you in a locker. There are no lockers on the internet, and no one can interrupt you here, so you can have a turn at being superior.

Yay for apatheism!

What I can't understand is why, after making all those posts then attempting tag various threads, he's decided to delete all of his own posts.

I don't know who the son of a bitch was who deleted most of my posts so I gave him some help. You people are obviously pig brains for whom higher knowledge has no place.

Do you often cut off your nose to spite your face, or did you save that for this board?
