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

Fear not the caesar, it is not dangerous.
'Tis a noble aroma, and well whifféd.*



*Aww, I missed the obvious "smells iffy." Oh well.

Get. A. Room.

I wrote another long response to a thread and then just shrugged my shoulders. What's the point? It will remain in the drafts.

I used to keep a big file of really long and incredibly insightful forum posts I'd written out but never actually posted. That way, I could just cut and paste relevant portions of them into other posts without having to spend all that time typing and then eventually realizing I didn't care enough to take the time to finish making my points...

Plus, I could go through and reread them, and get to feel all smart and stuff.

See, I used to have a file just like this, and every item was tagged with snippets to make finding things easier! I started using TiddlyWiki to make it even easier than ever to cross-reference, and I started to notice where I had disagreed with previous-me on a few points. So, I posted comments on the comments, and then later changed my mind again. Now, the "unposted comments" TiddlyWiki is enormous and heated, with really angry commentary and bad feelings all around. I don't visit the file anymore -- it's a toxic environment.

Reminds me of a motorcycle forum that I used to moderate. One member created a half dozen or more sock puppets, not realizing that all of us mods could see that they were all created within minutes of each other, from the same source IP address. We would have banned him outright, however, it was too much fun to watch. You see, he would get all liquored up and forget which accounts were his sock puppets, and start arguing with himself.

Look, I said I was sorry.

You beat me to the comment...

I see people are getting better at taking digs at SJWs and woketivists without using those words and provoking the obvious moderation. This is not a compliment.

Hey, you shouldn't feel bad- we all have things for which we should apologize.
