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

And, get, this, they sat around the table talking to each other without masks...

Savage! And they knew they'd get sick! They just called it "con crud" and kept going!

I now I'm wondering how big and long lasting the cons had to become before that was a widespread problem, or if it goes back to the earliest days.

In any case, I'm guessing <insert transfer to the rising pandemic thread>.

No, I didn't comment.

Wow, that escalated quickly. I didn't even have a chance to make any bad choices.

 

[darjr]

You'll get another.

Ah, yes. The disappointment of wanting to post in a thread that's exploding, only to find that it's already locked.

 

[darjr]

Oh! I'm blocked! Looking back it was done as a sort of aggression. But wow am I super happy about it. It's like a late (or early?) Christmas gift!

Bummer. I didn't even get a chance to type "(CleverNickName has entered the chat)" when someone posted about pizza. I'm trying to build a theme here.

I wasn't at the first conventions, but since 1994 at least (and the DexCon of that year), "con crud" was already an old facet of gaming conventions. That and the habit of skipping hygiene so as not to miss games.
