Individual Deletion of Post Count?

[Dragongirl]

That is how I operate usually too. Seeing one of the "hivemind" people posting to a thread doesn't entice me to read said thread (

Don't think it is fair to generalize people that go into the hivemind thread. Why don't you just say people with high postcounts.

Alsih20, because he's usually involved in something interesting (although I usually dodge the OT graphical threads he posts to the General forum)

woo-hoo, twice in one thread! if i wasn't a lame, sickly little man i might get a big head

So post-count doesn't matter, it's post quality.

Well, Mr. Jason Parent, I'm sorry you think like that of "hivemind people".

At best, it shows you don't look too much to most forums here.
Most "hivemind people" posted and post a lot in many forums, a lot more than in the hivemind thread (that one hivemind thread that nobody forces you to read but that you seem to read anyway even if you seem not liking it).

Crothian, for example, has most of his 12k+ post done in the Rules and Home Rules forum, his rules knowledge is almost legendary. And in the Plot and Places forum, where he was the motor behind one of the biggest projects there, Shark World.

At worse, you aare being unfair. Unfair because you generalise. Unfair because you don't seem coherent. After all, you have posted this week in a Hivemind thread, and because all our names were in there so you shouldn't have been enticed to read it, but you not only did it but posted there...

Sorry if I seem aggressive or overprotective. But your post was, IMHO, agressive too, and unfair.

Well, seems I stepped in this one, eh?

What is wrong with me NOT jumping up and down to read every thread your name appears in?

Am I REALLY being unfair by not immediately jumping to read threads with your name as the last poster instead of jumping to read threads with Morrus' name as the last poster?

If this REALLY seems to be so unfair to you, I can make a personal pledge to spend the rest of the night reading every thread you've posted to for the past few hundred threads. Maybe I'll catch a few threads that I missed tha tI should have read where the title of th thread hadn't caught my eye (I only read about 1% of the threads in these forums honestly, and guess what, the [HIVEMIND] threads are par tof them).

But in all honesty, I NEVER said that I don't enjoy reading [HIVEMIND] threads, nor that I don't enjoy speaking to the people who are involved in them, I ONLY said that these are NOT the names that make me jump up and read a thread that I wouldn't have read otherwise.

I am sorry that my post didn't seem coherent. I'll try better to post more succinctly and coherently in the future, and maybe not be so aggressive to you.

Because I DO follow some people who have high post counts. People like the person who's reference I have hereby deleted so as to avoid singling anyone out.

 

[Dragongirl]

What i object to is singling out a certain group. I don't care if it is people with 2 words in their name, names that begin with the letter T, or hivemind. I don't think it is nice to single out anyone. I don't care if people look at threads or don't look at threads if my name appears. I post to state my opinion, not to get a following.

 

[HellHound]

(insert name here) - do you REALLY find it insulting that I don't e-stalk you like I do some other members of these boards?

 

[HellHound]

Sorry.

If it is indeed that insulting, (insert name here), I will go back and edit out references to people in my posts.

not to get all lighthearted here, but "single out" and "hivemind" is enough to make an english teacher change careers

 

[HellHound]

You are right, my post is much less personal and potentially irritating or inflamatory now that i have removed everyone's names from the list.

My appologies for being such a hypocrite and being mean, I will make sure not to single out anyone on the forums again for fear of a repeat occurence of tonight's problems.
