Do people ever get shunned?

Ooooh. UncleBeer, thanks for the bump! The average post count of Dopers who replied in this thread (ie- not counting the OP) is now at 3702.

There are probably extremely few threads (with, let’s say, more than 10 Dopers responding) that have this high of a post count average.

We should cut this off here before a bunch of newly registered Dopers find this and screw it up.
(Is it obvious I’m in a work avoidance mode this rainy Friday?)

Here I am to bring the average down!

(sorry, I go now.)

UncleBeer, will you please post twice?

Damn. I knew this would happen.

Having UncleBeer or anyone else post twice won’t help because I’m averaging the post counts of the posters, not of the individual posts.

This conversation has got silly, and I’m shunning this thread.

We only shun you if you ask nicely.

Well, it might. Because each time they post, their post count goes up.

This is very true.

F_X

What a silly topic. You should stick it where the shun don’t sign.

There once was a Doper, Mr. B.
Who felt left out of the repartee.
His concern about shunning
Was really quite cunning,
Cuz now the thread average is 3693.

OK, Algernon, I just have to break the rhyme of your limerick :D.

Hmmm. Let’s see. Chronos at 8054 and arruff at 3. Between the two of you, the average still rises.

(Give me a little time here… Chronos has inadvertently given me a rhyming double-dare. ~grin~)

Aha. I think I can safely ignore a Banned poster. Now I know what he was talking about with his reference to cheating.
