If I was a moderator, I would merge all of your butt cheeks together

If you were a moderator...

Sorry, I just can't grasp the concept.

That's why you're not a moderator.

Dear glatt:

Your serious question deserves a serious answer. One dandelion is pretty. A yard full of them is a sign of neglect. One subject elevated this way (a collection of whole threads about a single subject, ala Sandra Day O'Connor) is/was funny. The droning, mechanical, UNcreative, relentless repetition of them is not funny.

You're right. I did like that one, back in the day. It was spontaneous, new and creative. I believe lumberjim deserves much of the credit for lighting the fuse on that particular fireworks display. What is happening now isn't dramatic fireworks. It's the 3rd (or 10th or 50th) consecutive hour of a string of firecrackers. Pop pop pop pop pop. The novelty has worn off. Sadly, novelty was pretty much the only thing the vast majority of these threads had going for them in the first place. They're thin to begin with and are now worn out.

For those of you who care about or are bothered by my complaining, I ask you: If they're just nothing fun threads to begin with, where is the loss? I can't stop you from posting them; I've no intention of impinging on your cellar-rights to free expression. And I'll continue to share that right and bear that responsibility. You say they're just bs and laugh. I just say they're bs. What's the difference?

I've commented on this very subject before. In that thread I present two ideas, both of which I complain about: excessive hatin' and clone threads. That day, the hatin' was more of a problem for me. Today, it's the clone threads.

edit: glatt, your link is busted. perhaps you were shooting for something like this. My handle does figure prominently amongst the thread authors.

Bullshit! They are flowers, beautiful yellow flowers... and the plant is green. You bastards that are trying to make the whole world look like green AstroTurf, are just making the whole world dull and boring.

FLOWER POWER!!!

You know what though, at least they're in the forum called NOTHINGLAND (mostly). 'Tis easy to stear clear if it really bothers you, the name says it all. People who don't like politics avoid that forum rather than posting "boring" in every thread -how is this so very different behaviour-wise?

BigV · 09-06-2007, 05:17 PM

Ok.

They also appear very prominently in the view called "New posts". It's not about walking between the piles, it's about cleaning them up.

EDIT:

Actually, to be more precise, I am not cleaning them up. I'm standing next to (in?!) them and pointing and loudly complaining "Crap!". They're there. I'm pointing them out. I (occasionally) make one myself. But I'm tired of them. Their presence is an irritation to me. That I'm put in a position to ignore them bothers me.

Ever live in an apartment or a dorm where the loud music, created in it's own private space, still intruded on you? That's how I feel here. Me and the neighbors, we have equal privileges. I just don't like what's going on. Wet blanket, humorless, spoilsport, "attitude". Whatever.

busterb · 09-06-2007, 07:48 PM

I've been here a few days and have some friends that I'd never had other wise. BUT some of the post drive me, the rest of way to nutts.
Perhaps I'm just a dumb country boy. I know bullshit when I see it.
Good job Big V. busterb

Hang in there with me BigV. We'll keep the Word Association & Song Association threads at the top of the board until we fillibuster the low grade material. If that doesn't work, we'll petition UT to create a Less-Than-Nothing Land forum for the refuse and install lumberjim as forum moderator.

P.S. In the aforementioned threads, consecutive posting by the same person is deemed acceptable for this noble cause.

Now there are some truly, utterly useless fucking threads. Posting in threads like that serves the sole purpose of moving the timeclock ahead a few paltry seconds; but it sure leaves a bad taste in your mouth to have wasted your precious keyboard strokes on such pointless garbage. Of course, I don't bust in there and make a dick out of myself. I'd have to be a total fucking dick to do something like that!

That's the attraction of those threads: some of the nicer people hang out in them and you're not there. Good boy.
