Sure, join. Just so long as you continue to poll us whenever you want to make a decision. You can be our own little Tamagotchi. ---

[QUOTE=Wee Bairn] Only if you promise to start more of your “Is Yemen a democracy” and “some author no one including me has ever heard of has a new book out” type threads. And for the love of god, please tell us the meaning of your name! I got no sleep last night trying ot figure it out, and now I’m a wreck. [/QUOTE] Maybe it has something to do with 14k blah blah blah? ---

[QUOTE=Cluricaun] I consulted my magic 8 ball \ and it says that it’s time to get another 8 ball \ [/QUOTE] I believe it gives better results if you read it instead of sniff it. To the OP, from what little I’ve read of your posts, you impress me as somewhat of a dick with little to say that is of any interest to me. So join, disappear, do what you wish. I really couldn’t care less. ---

**Two and a Half Inches of Fun** I’ll make you an offer. I will happily pay your fee for you. If you decide that you don’t want to join, fuck it I’ll quit too. If you are too much for the SDMB to deal with this is becoming the weakest board on the net. Shit it will be way easier learn Clapton’s solo parts without the SDMB. ---

On the SD main page, there’s a link encouraging people to “Advertise on the online Straight Dope! Your direct line to thousands of the smartest, hippest people on the planet, plus a few total dipsticks.” Perhaps that is a sign that there is a place for you. ---

[QUOTE=Revtim] Of course I would like you to join. Unlike apparently many other members, if for some reason I decide I dislike you and/or your posting style, I can simply not make the effort to read your posts. I think there’s even a feature of the board software that will ignore you for me automatically, but I’ve never used it; I find simply not reading what I’m not interested in is more than adequate. [/QUOTE] Ditto. ---

Thanks for all the responses. You have given me a lot to think about. I think I would like to join but I am not sure if it is the best use of my $15. I might spend that money on Charles Baxter’s new novel (a writer that I and many other people have heard of - he just had a bad movie made from one of his novels that was a National Book Award Finalist). ---

**Two and a Half Inches of Fun** , You’ve made it exceptionally clear through this thread (among many others) that your purpose here is to get a rise out of our users and to cause trouble. To date, you haven’t been warned. While I can’t speak for other moderators, I do try to give guests the benefit of the doubt. You have exceeded that benefit a long time ago. You’re a troll. Knock it off or you will be banned. ---

Removed. Whatever advice I’ve got I’ll not be offering until you’ve had time to consider the request just above. ---

I know a lot of these couldn’t have been the replies you were hoping for. Consider 'em and be honest with yourself if a change might’nt do you good. It really is a well-intentioned bunch here and, for the most part, pretty forgiving too toward honest attempts to be more in line with what’s considered good behavior. ---
