tabbaker was being sarcastic

Well, jokes on me because when I saw that post I immediately thought “that is a useless post that adds nothing to this discussion and just stirs up shit for no reason”

I guess that’s my cue to give this thread a break for a while.

Not having Watevs on ignore is a huge life leak. Unlike all this mess, he’s a very easily solved problem.

Congratulations, you made a sarcastic flag.

[Watevs]

I’m proud of Chris BloViate it’s a perfectly encapsulating nickname

[Jalfrezi]

That’s pretty inflammatory.

I think a good test of when things have gotten into surreal territory is to imagine trying to explain all this to a person IRL. Their eyes glaze over after a few seconds. If you continue they start to re-evaluate their entire relationship with you.

JT posting about talking to his wife about posters was weird. I wish JT the best, but my gf would tell me to stfu so quick if I talked to her about online forum drama or personalities.

[tabbaker]

I would appreciate it if you would stop assuming the worst in me when I do what’s right.

[suzzer99]

Lollolololol.gif - that’s incredibly smarmy given the content of this thread and the poster in question.

[Jalfrezi]

That’s also true of most people’s hobbies.

If someone talks at any length about fly fishing or stamp/coin collecting my eyes glaze over and start looking for the exit. I have no control over this whatsoever.

lol I literally attempted that earlier today once I had figured out what the hell was going on. Didn’t get an eye roll but I don’t think she’s exactly anxiously awaiting an update either.

[suzzer99]

Sure if your hobby is watching planes land at the airport.

[Jalfrezi]

We have much worse than that here - trainspotting isn’t just a film.

[suzzer99]

She’s incredibly accommodating to put up with that much.

[NotBruceZ]

Some of the people who want better posting think that civil posting is better posting because they value the appearance of order.

My ex would get mad if I even mentioned 22. But then I had another female friend who got into it and even wound up dating adsman on 22 for a while.

I’m taking my own advice and bowing out of this. God help this forum. It’s a pretty good thing on balance imo. I’d hate to see it die.

I’m fine not having watevs on ignore because I think he’s often right, but I think others making more use of the ignore function would be a net positive for this community
