Not really mad at you, but I didn’t want to post this any of your (MANY) GD threads on the subject…

Do you get paid based on how many ME threads you start? By my count you have 6 threads on the front page all talking about protests/revolution in the ME.

Does each country really need its own thread?

Yes, each country really needs its own thread. Each is having its own maybe-revolution.

#3

Well, shit. That was easy. Mods? Close this one up?

#4

I disagree.

ETA: I was able to find a resolution to my issue so that I do not have to see them every time I refresh the page, which I was previously unaware of.

Mods, you can close this. sorry for wasting your time.

#5

Why wouldn’t each country need its own thread? How does the [del]abdication[/del] resignation of Hosni Mubarak affect the people of Tripoli’s desire to change their government?

#6

One does not affect the other, unless simple inspiration counts. But it is all the same shit in each thread.

But as I said I have been pointed to a solution which seems to resolve my dislike for so many threads. This is (and pretty much always was) a non-issue now.

#7

Is it just the fact that they’re all countries in the Middle East? Suppose there was one about France, another about Zaire, and another about Chile. Would you still have pitted him?

#8

Lame pitting.

#9

Probably, if they were all in different threads.

#10

agreed

#11

In future, I will instruct the states of the Middle East to have their riots and/or protests one at a time, so you need not be inconvenienced by multiple threads discussing them.

#12

Outstanding.

#13

Nonsense. If I had not started a separate thread on Yemen, I never would have learned about qat!

#14

As you apparently agree with your critics all that remains is a polite mod request to close the thread down.

All together now.

‘Kumbaya M’Lord …’

#15

Individual threads are fully capable of supporting multiple conversations.

#16

Please see post #4

#17

Unlike those of us who learned about qat* through Scrabble.

*Also qi, qadi, qanat, qoph and all the other oddball q without u words.

#18

Where were you during the Restore Hope Operation? News kept mentioning it all the time.

#19

Just curious… any other example where “pitter” becomes the “pittee”?

#20

Happens all the time. Check out the Superdude thread (now locked, but still on the front page) for an extreme example.
