You know what would be really fun?

[LipstickLady 25,682]

So to my detriment, I am a lazy forum poster. I rarely look at who I am replying to even after I hit submit. I generally don't pay attention to it, in fact, until I get a hot reply. Weird, I know, but I tend to reply to the COMMENT not to the USER.

How great would it be if we had a week of blind posting? People couldn't use their "tells", so I'd have to be conscious of my this/that/theother/etc habit, @@KindaFamiliar couldn't be a creeper, @@Dub couldn't post food porn...

It would be interesting to see how this would effect the rate of reporting, finger pointing, offended peeps, name calling, and on a positive side, which bonds could actually be made when the names started appearing again.

I know, it's just a day dream, but it would be super interesting.

I'm like you, I respond to the comment and not the user.

Unless it's @@KindaFamiliar because it's impossible not to know it's him.

LOL... I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw your title. My first thought was, "What does LipstickLady think would be fun? Whatever it is, it's sure to be interesting!"

I like the idea!

If I didn't know that you loved me I'd be offended...

@@becomingmandikaye

I'm sure you mean that in the nicest possible way...

I can think of MUCH more fun things, but I wouldn't want our more "delicate" forum members to start twitching.

[becomingmandikaye 262]

'course I did!

[KindaFamiliar 3,867]

Ok...

I'll take this challenge...

For the next week, I'll post like some that I see regularly...

I'll not like it...

But I enjoy a challenge...

It begins.........

NOW

Weird, I know, but I tend to reply to the COMMENT not to the USER.

I don't know if it is odd or not, but I do the exact opposite. If I find the user to be a total tool, Soup sandwich, drama queen, or mouth breather; I don't bother with a reply. If I have any experience or applicable knowledge AND I deem the person worthy of any effort on my part, only then will I bother with a reply.

I got into a bit of a back and forth with a newb a long time ago about "being better than anyone else". Needless to say we didn't see eye to eye on the issue. I judge people by their words and actions on the forum. That will dictate my words and actions in turn. Doesn't make me popular much of the time, but I can endure the slings and arrows of the sappy ones with great fortitude. It would be an interesting social experiment if we could deduce the poster based upon their content, but ultimately I think it would devolve into a rampant pissing match.

[Dub 9,983]

Interesting concept.

I like it.

I'll not post food porn for a while. I know I'll get a twitch......and itch....but I'll not do it.

Gonna be working everyday until Monday anyway. Know this.....on Monday....my grill will be hot and my pitcher of 'ritas will be on ice. Porn goals will be met.

On the serious side......I try....truly do try......to stay with the content. Now.....I may be more reserved on my replies based on who the poster is...my knowledge of their history and perspective come into play. Sometimes, though....a Darwin award winner emerges and I can't hold back....

FTR......I was a Darwin Award Recipient......almost......and then I found this place..............

C'mon LipstickLady. Sod upsetting the assorted delicate little flowers and just go for it!!!!! The more fun things we can have on this site the better. I'm not losing weight to be a miserable old git. I've been too bloody flabby in the past to have fun and so now that the flab is departing my carcass I am gagging for fun in any form........well.......ummm.........almost any form. Well, not illegal or immoral anyway, although come to think of it, there are a few illegal things............maybe not.

Anyhow.....

There is a time for serious discussion and I for one appreciate it but there must be a time for levity too. So, who's coming out to play?

Soooo @jintycb... I'm free, what'cha doing later?

[jintycb 721]

Well, could put Coronation Street on instead. I'd hate to put you off. By the way, how long would it take you to get to Hampton Wick in Surrey, UK? [emoji6]

I can handle anything but please not the food porn....
