It takes a special kinda man to calmly watch his thread sink to the bottom

[Elidor]

But I am not that guy.

1. And I won't let it happen. (nt)

[Elidor]

5. You're too kind.

Seriously. lol, no. Kidding.

[caty]

2. Man?

Special kind of MAN? Let's go for "person". Don't make me get mean.
Women don't like to watch their threads sink either.

[Elidor]

4. Women, too. I'm speaking from personal POV.

I do that sometimes.

7. O.K.---

I'll forgive ya.:hug:

[Elidor]

8. Flame War averted!!!

*whew!* I did not want to go there! Hehe. :7

:hug:

13. >>>

:pals:

[Pharlo]

3. Hmmm...

Sensitive type are ya? :)

[Elidor]

6. Some nights, I take great masculine pride in being unaffected by it

And I'll watch the thread sink with pleasure, and I'll whisper softly, "Pearls before swine, pearls before swine," or "they don't understand! It's all about ME!" but other nights I just can't deal.

9. "Pearls before swine..."

I rather like that one.

How about this, tell yourself:

"Perhaps, just perhaps, maybe everyone feels that the original post said it all, and anything they could contribute would detract from the message..."

And, if that doesn't help, get a cat. There is nothing on Earth that will acclimate a human being to being ignored like cohabiting with a cat.

10. I, for one, feel better now.

[Elidor]

11. ROFLMAO!

Yes! The original post said it ALL. No one can follow up!

[dajoki]

12. shit happens

:shrug:

[nookiemonster]

14. Refresh.. sigh.. refresh. ..sigh..

Yup.

[Elidor]

15. Oh, that's the worst feeling in the world.

I can't do that. I just throw it out there and try not to wince if it goes "thud." I do a lot of obscure lyrics threads, and those almost always die. I know better, but I post them anyway, out of sheer mule-headedness.

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Happens to me all the time.

I am just not that interesting, apparently.

[Elidor]

17. I've started to reply to you before

And then thought that my reply was either already said by someone else or just didn't contribute to the discussion at hand. But I notice your posts, if that's any consolation, and I've always found you interesting. Perhaps you make your point too thoroughly and leave no easy reply.

So many people on this board are SOOOO damn smart and witty, and a lot of times, I feel like I can't match the level of brilliance/insight/hilarity, and I just let the best posts go by without a response. The old "better to remain quiet and let them think you're an idiot" rule. Know what I mean, Vern?

[Midlodemocrat]

18. I know exactly what you mean.

I don't want to always post. I agree. or LOL. or stuff like that, but I am not that witty when writing, more so in person, so I let a lot of stuff go.

Now, I will make more of an effort to reply to you!


:hi:

[Elidor]

19. And me to you!
