1. It's dangerous to read the classified, I will go out and spend all my Lindens on the wonderful clothes these people make.
2. Some posts can be rewarding and accomplish some good.
3. Silly posts can be fun and let off steam.
4. You can ignore some posts and move on past them.
I've really been enjoying the last one. It's very freeing. I learned I have control over the forums and what I can and cannot be affected by.
I hope I'm not lecturing anyone, I'm just saying what works for me.

You're right about all the above, I think.

I have to say the forums are a unique place. I want to share this strange feeling I just had and wondered if anyone has gone through the same thing.
As I checked new posts and tried to avoid the more controversial ones, I watched my thread sink down the list. It made me feel slight sad. This made me feel silly. Did I post to share my thoughts? And isn't that enough? Or did I want to be popular and have people respond to my thread? Is it "my thread"? I honestly don't think what I have posted can change anything, wouldn't it be nice if it did? _____________________

I am unable to ignore this post and move on past it.
In fact, I call for a formal protest of, and hostile flaming of this thread, to begin immediately! Say no to the peace-makers! _____________________
BTW
WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS! |

No Sir, I'm afraid we don't have any cheese... I've been deliberately wasting your time..
