I’ve been getting a huge kick out of the circumcision thread. It’s rare to see such an unmitigated idiot push on dauntlessly. It’s on it’s last legs now, to be sure, but it was fun whilst it lasted.
I also can’t keep away from any threads dealing with homosexuality, even the long drawn out debates wherein people are not likely to have their positions changed.
Education debates also thrall me. It’s like a strange sort of sickness.
So, dopers, what threads can’t you stay away from?
I don’t contribute to them a whole bunch, but I always get a kick out of lurking in the “Troll Bashing” threads in the Pit. Especially if C*ncrete makes an appearance.
Libertarianism debates. I know full well that Gadarene (for example) is not going to accept libertarianism as a viable political theory, but I’m not going to stop trying.
People whining about how the board is run, and about how evil the regs are and that crap. Especially when that’s all they’ve contributed to the board.
Well, over at the old AOL board, there’s a prime example of something that will NEVER die. chuckles welfishly
I canNOT avoid the vaguely creepy threads. What ever happened to them anyway? I want to walk around with a stick and bump it back to the surface. busting out her metal detector
Adoption/abortion, troll threads, and bad customer service threads. And, quite frankly, the JDT threads tend to attract my attention like a traffic accident.
Troll threads. Music threads. As one of the few representatives of my people on this board- the race threads. Parental rights and responsiblility threads. New York threads.
I can’t stay away from any locked thread. As soon as I notice that lock symbol, I head right in to see why it got locked. Did somebody cross the line? Was it a thread started by the latest incarnation of everyone’s favorite poster, concrete? I’m looking for scandal!
Threads that suck me into them like crossing the event horizon of a black hole:
Music threads (particularly guitar-based)
Anything that Manhattan moves because the move post will make me laugh (go Manhattan go!)
Threads about children/no children
Nonsense threads that make fun of the SDMB
and sex threads…gotta love those
On the reverse:
Threads I used to enjoy but now avoid like an Ebola:Reston patient:
