The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Snarf Zagyg]

You ever really want to start a thread because you really want to discuss a thing, but don't because you just know that the Usual Suspects are going to swoop in and turn it into a monkey house?

All. The. Time.

To the extent that I stopped creating those threads. Life is too short to read yet another lengthy quote from {Name Redacted} and people who keep arguing that semantics doesn't matter, which is why I am required to use their terms, but also it does matter, which is why they won't use anyone else's.

I'd make more threads, but not even the monkey housers show up.

No good deed goes unpunished, I suppose!

I really want to engage that thread as a discussion of the topic, but dont feel I can do so in the spirit of the premise. So, im not going to.

But that more people could follow your lead. Including, sometimes, probably including me.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with dislike pineapple on pizza, but mocking people for enjoying it is gross. Mockingbpeople for not liking on pineapple on pizza, a more apt analogy, is also gross.

I need a term for that feeling of simultaneous pride and cringe when someone else posts the comment you decided not to post because it was neither productive nor healthy in response to some irritating garbage.

There is an art to creating a + thread condition that both blocks the dissention that is completely unuseful, but encourages the discussion that is.

I am not that artist.
