Thread Killers

Thought it might be fun to make a list of things that render an active, fun-loving thread... well, Dead.

I was reading the other day and I saw for the ka-zillionth time or so where some well meaning newbie jumped into a lively discussion to ask the question. You know the one... "What is a PB?"

Don't get me wrong, I am sure I did it too. Well maybe, I sure hope not.

What can someone post that will make you shut it down and walk away?

It's ok DrewsLou, with all the crap thats been slung around here we're all bound to stink! And ya know whats great? We're still family! :mad:

Telly, good point! *laughs and laughs* Poor noobs land in the middle of a thread like this would probably poo themselves! Ah! More stink! LOL

I know I've made some shitty posts but I didn't know I smelled?? :nervous

Maybe it's your stinky feet.:pound: Sorry that's my ornery side coming out. Not really. I just posted how beautiful your feet were. Nice tattoo.

You are awl goin to HELL! The Lord will punish sinners for there evil, wickked, deeseetfel ways. The blind leading the blind shall not profit from false witness. Ezekial 12:22

And oh ya . . .

Man. I get totally NO love for Herman's Hermits. What's up with that?

Dawg, as a Brit I at least expected an *eyeroll* for Henry the 8th.

Hm, what about the blind performing lapband surgery in the garage? Are they going to hell too?

Well, duh!

And can I get a AMEN!

*Blanket statement here* WARNING

I believe everyone has a pet peave when it comes to posting and posting styles on a forum.

Yes some readers, responders are:

Dissectors

Stalkers

Trolls

Ignorant

Abusive

Political

Amusing/Comical

Know-it-alls

Jealous

Mentally ill

Pretend Christians or... bible thumpers but hypocrits

Deceivers

Got to have the last word attitude

Finger pointers

Shouting (Caps Lock)

What about me? No one likes me - attitudes

When people from all over the world, from different backgrounds, different view points and morals get together, there will be a nice cocktail of sorts. It tends to makes this forum more interesting.

I forgot to add "Hijackers"

They are cherry blossoms, a symbol of feminine power in Chinese and eternal life in Japanese. They are my favorite flower!

Brit.... BRIT?? BRIT???

Them's FIGHTIN words!!

Blind I may be, but a BRIT I am not.

Frickin Colonials!
