Thread hijacking

[RawHumor]

I will.

Oooh, wait for me!

 

[grrrly]

thread hijacking is irritatiing

 

[bluntforcemama]

Hey Myst,

Just wanted to clarify that when I started the thread "I want to be fucked religously while standing" it was not in response to Never's thread but the whole juvenile dialog that was going on about religion in general. It is only the second thread I have ever started and it was more out of frustration - angry people lashing out trying to start a fight deserve some parody. I have always tried to respond seriously to serious threads - especially about personal matters.

I understand... and your thread wasn't on my shit list. People being bitchy to each other and provoking their ire isn't always the exception. At least you were aware of the prodding.

Oooh, wait for me!

I'm sorry Beefcake that post did not meet the minimum required number of sentences for this thread.

In order to be taken seriously you must pontificate for several paragraphs, repeating yourself over and over and basically smothering a point someone with a tad more brain power could have made in one sentence.

Because droaning on and on is interesting. It's not boring. I swear!

How many sentences was that?

 

[activesense]

Three with one run-on that might count for two...

What about the fragments? Don't they count?

sorry, your missed at least 15 points of gobbelty goop. Thusly and inadvertently I am assured of that in a post haste manner. With that said however one must be willing to ask the all important question of why? Is it really societies fault? Is another government task force needed to look into such a matter of national security as your missing said points of gobbelty goop? I beg of you dear friends lets unite and fight this oppresion of gobbelty goop. Understanding is the key, I implore of you to answer "why".

 

[activesense]

Glad you caught that.










I think if you create more space it counts as a more thoughtful post too.

sunstruck, I don't like to fight. I don't take attacks on this board very seriously anyway. Just be aware that you can look really silly when you try to use sarcasm to attack someone who uses reason to make a valid point.

LOL *wiping the tears from my eyes*

You raise a really valid point, though. One one hand, hijacking could be considered to be rude. On the other hand, if the initial point of the thread was just to incite hate, and the hijacking brings some humor to that thread, then would that not be considered a good thing? Would it be better just to let the hateful thread die without commenting at all on it?

I recall a time when I could have been convinced of any of these options. But right now, I'm not really sure what I...

Nearly got a hole in one!

Is that what they call sex now?

I have no problem with silly. I love silly. Silly makes me laugh. It's called a sense of humor.

And I wasn't attacking you. I was attacking your point. I don't even know you.

7th Grade....

That means we don't get recess anymore....

Oh look! My point!

I won't allow myself to hijack a serious thread about touchy issues. But threads that perpetuate hate, or narrowmindedness, or whinning (a pet peeve of mine) are not sacred to me.

No but we get to skip class, take off home...no parents...and do the first thing that pops up.

Oh no, we haven't stuck gum on you chair or broken all the chalk into tiny little pieces yet.

But I can understand how advanced age can effect ones perception.

Something of mine just popped up, purely out of coincidence.

I'm going home with you guys...

texan, with all due respect, some of us use this to merely have a good time, to laugh, and to make friends we would otherwise never have the opportunity to make. Along the way a few threads will be taken over, I have done it, and I am willing to bet most of us have. If by chance your speaking of the hijacking of the religious thread, that thing had been around all morning at the very minimum and I suppose the ones that were posting on there ran out of things to debate and simply started to pick on one another. I refuse to speak for them, but on my part if someone has something new to say I will more than gleefully stand aside, digest what they inputed and make my choice to respond or not respond. If I feel I need to be serious I can turn the silly comments off in a heartbeat, with that said however, if I want to continue with the sarcasm or pure horsing around I will. Most of the ones I hang around with here do the same, we are like in our banter and abilities, thats why it is called a click. I personally will more than welcome anyone in at any time. Take grrrly for example, I totally disagreed with most she posted but I also stated on several occasions I more than respected her right to post whatever she wanted to. Actually I found her more than worthy and very refreshing. Have a great day sir, and feel more than welcome to take a few potshots at me sometimes, its good therapy

I think my work here is done....

And this thread has been the better for it. Good day all.

Here we go.......

This is total bullshit........... This thread had nothing to do with "hate".... or "narrowmindedness"... or "whinning"........

YOU are one of the people who has been hijacking threads like YOUR judgement of what is "sacred" is the only judgement that counts......

This thread pointed out that there are some of us who don't like the practice of hijacking serious threads, WITHOUT naming a single name. It was YOU who came into THIS thread.

I don't know you either, and have absolutely nothing against you, in any way. I could not care less what is a "pet peeve of yours". I don't like thread hijacking...... and just because you think it's cute, doesn't make it so.

She wasn't calling THIS thread hateful, Tex. She was referring to grrrly's thread and others like it.

High blood pressure will kill you, even IF you stop smoking. You should really try to relax a little. It's good for your heart.

RH.... I have read your posts for a long time, and you are an obviously reasonable guy, with a fairly quick wit.
