This is the thread where people who have posted less than 20 posts can say things.

Just like all the rest of the threads, but this one is special.

This is my thread. There are many threads like it, but this is my thread.

In Response to Dynedain (#20066):

No.

This is my thread.

Is this a "safe haven" of sorts, or have you taken it upon yourself to decide that "under 20s" can't post anywhere else?

In Response to daubergoat (#20068):

thats a good question

Zamphir, is this just bait to draw out the Newbies for your* amusement?

(* the y is optional)

In Response to daubergoat (#20068):

I'm just trying to generate some more postings.

Things are .... sloooooooowwww......

I've given up on flaming newbies, so, yeah, this is a safe haven. And, like I said, this is just like every other thread. So, under 20s can post anywhere, I mean duh!

Plus, I'm bored with most of the rest of you.

In Response to zamphir (#20075):

nothing's quite the same after a fist up your ass is it?

In Response to Dynedain (#20077):

I wouldn't know.

Do you?

In Response to zamphir (#20078):

I think it's safe to say you can go with your gut on this one, pal.

In Response to zamphir (#20075):

Things are .... sloooooooowwww......

Maybe we need a creative contest -- a community written story of choose-your-own-adventurian proportions!

Or maybe we should play truth or dare. = )

In Response to daubergoat (#20087):

that's not a bad idea.

Of course, to prove you undertook the dare, you'd have to provide photographic evidence.

I'm going to take license to post by virtue of the fact that, although I have more than 20 posts, I am under 20.

Not for very much longer, either - I'm taking advantage of it while I can.

Besides, Dynedain doesn't need another thread. This can be my thread.

In Response to tynic (#20089):

And they said spin the bottle has never been the same since the advent of instant messaging...

In Response to zamphir (#20078):

just referring to the loss of T*

Mmm. Smells like teen spirit.

This is like opening a bar for teetotallers.

In Response to Dynedain (#20116):

If by "T*", you mean "Teledildonix", then my response is: i am not lost. I merely have nothing of value to contribute. There is no reason for me to keep imposing my opinions in people's conversations unless i have something worth saying. Maybe i'll have an original idea or useful perspective in some future context, then you'll hear from me again. Otherwise, i'm trying to avoid bothering anybody.

In Response to Teledildonix (#20130):

Y'know, my mother also plays the martyr when she feels that she was right, and hence wronged, and its even more annoying than when she makes argumentative comments, and much less productive.

In Response to Dynedain (#20132):

I just tried my best to be honest, tactful, and sensible. You seem to think that this is "playing the martyr". You reinforce my belief that my comments are unwelcome or misinterpreted, and result only in some people's impression that i'm annoying and unproductive, no matter how sincere and simple i thought i was being. I'm not "playing" anything. I've been trying to behave in a way which would be less offensive than my previous demeanor. It appears that you've already made up your mind about what i feel, and why i say or think the things i do. You are not a mind-reader, and your presumption of my thoughts is flawed. This indicates to me that my previous tactic of remaining silent was a better choice, as there is apparently little hope that even the most inoffensive intention on my part will be seen as such.

Isn't a forum for people who post under 20 times that is visited by none of said people kinda like sex chat rooms for women? Inasmuch as none of the target audience participates due to the overabundance of the non-invited hordes?

In Response to Teledildonix (#20133):

Here? Why bother? None of the rest of us do.

In Response to jon (#20129):

Nahhh.

That'd have better ferns.

In Response to Teledildonix (#20133):

NO.

Nothing regarding your positions and arguments contribute to what I had just said. Yur stance of "People think my comments are unproductive [because they don't agree with me] and so I'm not posting"* is what prompted me to say you are playing the martyr.

*This comment obviously paraphrased.

In Response to Dynedain (#20142):

3 hours, 10 minutes, and already a bold all caps response. All chances of 'meek lamb' stepped out the door paragraphs ago. Meaning, it is really boring around here without you, buddy. (As you could guess, because Zamphir is driving his van around the middle school offering candy and rides).

In Response to deerboy (#20149):

We've got a nascent flamewar on the "happy fun newbie friendly thread" and you guys are wondering why people with less than 20 posts don't.

Oh, and it appears that I'm actually using the thread for its stated aim. Doesn't that break some sort of rule?
 

In Response to Euan (#20169):

See, that's exactly why you people SHOULD post more. We need more distractions.

But, really, it's a flamewar between two "oldies". So this is still a happy fun newbie friendly thread.

And it's not really a flamewar, or even a nascent one. It's just a couple of geeks being pissy.
