Am I a Thread Killer?

It seems like lately everytime I post no one else posts after me, or if they do it’s about something compeltly unrelated.

Is there something about me? Do people not like my posts? Are my posts so informed and intellgent that no one can dispute them? (could be?)

Don’t worry about it, I wouldn’t hold it against you if no one replies to this.

Maybe it has something to do with the lack of a spell checker! :wink:

Back Off!:mad:
I hold that position, and I intend to keep it.

Sometimes I feel that way too. Then again, I have my 20 Questions threads that a lot of people participate in, so I’m fine, I guess…
[sub]Or am I?..[/sub]

Hey! just what the hell do you mean by starting my thread? This is MY damn complaint, and you have a lot of gall to be claiming it for yourself! I bet I’ve killed more threads than all of you put together! I should be called the Hannibal Lector of the Straight Dope. I’ve got so many dead threads to my name, I might as well be running a crematorium! I am the Stalin of thread massacres! In fact, I bet no one even posts after this one, I’m so damn deadly to threads.

[sub]Damn whiners and their puny mewling complaints about being a thread killer. I’ll show THEM a thread killer, grumble grumble grumble…[/sub]

You lost your bet.

Ahhh, young ones, how much you have to learn…

Gather 'round children, and learn of the tragic story that was Threadkillers…(raises spork in salute).

It all started with this thread, where I made almost the exact same complaint. That resulted in a multi-page threadkilling contest that was very fun and memorable.

Then, the next year, we had [url=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=53434&highlight=Threadkillers which was also fun, but got a bit too big for its own good.

So big, in fact, that the mods came in and said that Threadkilling contests were a no-no, because they waste bandwith.

So be confident in knowing that you are not a threadkiller. particlewill, who won the first contest, is the official Super-Mega-Threadkiller-o-Doom, and you can’t hold a candle to him.

I don’t call it killing threads when I do it.
I call it having the last word.
:slight_smile:

Don’t complain just yet. I’m probably anchoring over 100 threads. And I don’t mean the good kind of anchor, like the guy who runs last in the relay.

There are other who are worse off. Based on the shear number of posts that he has, Handy must of killed close to 1000 threads.

Here I always thought I was that message-board scourge. In fact, I briefly considered asking the mods to change my name to ThreadKiller, but I suspect it’s already been taken. (Too lazy to check right now.)

I don’t think it’s too bad to be the threadkiller. We all do it sometimes.

Now, killing a thread, then starting a parody thread based on the thread you killed…that’s bad. So, I’m going to go to SDMB Hell for this thread.

It’s a three-way winning situation. Being a thread-killer, and then starting/participatin’ in a thread on thread killin’, all builds up th’ post count. Nothin’ to be sad about, really.
