For someone who was so bothered by the threads in question, you sure didn’t have a problem posting in them multiple times to tell people how OUTRAGED! and DISGUSTED! you were. ---

I have not yet figured out how to reply to multiple posters in the same reply through my iPhone/iPad, and I try to address people who address me wherever I post. ---

_tsk, tsk, tsk._ And here I just finished reading the very successful May mini-rants thread you opened, and I was thinking to myself: _“Maybe there’s hope yet for **living\_in\_hell** to develop into an actual Doper, instead of a future name on a plaque dedicated to the gone-but-not-particularly-missed posters of the past year.”_ You were doing so _well_ (relatively speaking). There’s still time to turn it around, though. Just adopt the habit of self-control. If a thread title seems dodgy or uninteresting to you, restrain yourself from opening it. If you do open a thread, and find that it’s not something you can see yourself contributing to\*, restrain yourself from posting in it. If you see a substantial number of these two types of threads sprouting up, and people contributing to them, don’t take it personally, and restrain yourself from opening a Pit rant about them; as **Sleeps With Butterflies** says, a new batch of threads WILL come along that don’t make you “roll your eyes.” Remember: the Doper community is NOT conspiring to leave you out of conversations. In the first place, you’re not important enough for any such conspiracy to be worth the effort. And in the second place, no one else is, either. Almost without exception, we’re all here on the Straight Dope for our own enjoyment. So enjoy yourself, and don’t trouble yourself overmuch about how good a time the other Dopers are having in threads you’re not in. \*The desire to save Dopers from degrading themselves by posting to threads you disapprove of does not actually count as a contribution. ---

To be honest? I find myself rolling my eyes at a ton of your posts. You have a whiny/complainy/self-righteous/butthurt style, and then to top it off, you post entirely too much in your own threads. ---

> [@living\_in\_hell](#): > > I guess I just find a difference between potty humor and having a lighthearted discussion? Some people consider potty humor to be lighthearted discussion. If you don’t then I suggest you avoid threads with related topics. Look, I get it - some topics make you uncomfortable. But hey, I’ve been here 11 years now and this is nothing new. People talk about farting, pooping, peeing, private bathroom habits, public bathroom habits, having sex, not having sex, zits, nosehair, earwax… We have some very serious discussions here. We also have some extremely silly or stupid discussions. I don’t anticipate that changing. ---

I don’t think the question about tampon strings is even in the same ballpark. Like it or not, some women might want to know the answer. Just shut up and don’t read it. ---

> [@living\_in\_hell](#): > > Maybe the 2nd one is me being a little TOO prudish, but really, this is embarrassing. If you are posting here, the assumption is that you respect mature discussion of mature topics. Now THAT’S funny. Of the ones you listed, I only thought the 2nd one (“what’s your fetish”) was probably to fwap-fwap-fwappy for me. So you know what I did? I barged into that motherfucking thread with both barrels blazing, letting those degenerate perverts know just what I thought of their disgusting licentious immoral ways… …oh, wait. I mean, I didn’t open the thread at all. Shakespeare and Johnny Depp could be posting love poetry in there for all I know. The others are perfectly cromulent threads about female experiences that don’t get nearly enough conversation in our culture because assholes like you have taught us that they’re something to be ashamed of and impolite to speak of. So, yes, please do fuck off, and don’t disturb my tampon string in the process, mmm’kay? ---

Sooooo if I post too much in my own thread I annoy people and if I post in another’s thread I am hijacking it and if I mention it here I am hijacking it because it’s off topic? How about this for a thread topic : who here wants to hear about the discharge from my vaginal warts? I’ll spread it on crackers for my whine and cheese party and you’re all invited. Now does this thread go in cafe, iMhO, or MPSIMS? I kid I kid I kid 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-else-rolling-their-eyes-at-the-recent-topics-in-imho/621358.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-else-rolling-their-eyes-at-the-recent-topics-in-imho/621358.md?page=3)
