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

[el-remmen]

The salesman popping in once seems better to me than the neighbor who always shows up whenever you're discussing Football to say all the ways Soccer* is better (every... single... time) . But at least we can block the neighbor equivalent on here, can't do that to the person you don't know yet.

* Or insert Football and American Football as appropriate.

I don't see that comparison at all. An annoying neighbor is one thing. They can be annoying for any number of reasons. I guess for me any and all salespeople cold calling me on the phone or at the door or even in the forums is a real turn off and I don't care what they're selling.

There are plenty of publishers and creative types here. I welcome their RPG product material

So do I! When they are a part of the community, sharing ideas, participating in conversations, and so on in a genuine way. Then if they announce their products in a thread, I know who they are and what they are like and can check it out. But as I said in my post, when someone shows up for the first time (and only time) to just shill the thing they've made they demonstrate seeing the community as nothing but potential consumers. Maybe in our culture today people are used to that, but I don't think I'll ever be.

I think I was being the annoying neighbor who uses whatever you were complaining about to springboard to what I wanted to complain about. Doh!

As my mama always told me, "Snarf, if you can't be a part of the solution, become a part of the problem."

This is oddly reminding me of a convo I had at lunch with a co-worker about the movie Throw Mamma from the Train. I hadnt thought about that movie in years. Not sure if its even any good. Though, all this doing and asking mama about problems is taking me right back.

This movie is on my wife and I's to-(re)watch list along with Strangers on a Train (1951) and Do Revenge (2022)
