> [@Lobsang](#): > > Another thing - No disrespect to **Inigo Montoya** becuase I like him. But how the fuck do you allow his pointless threads and close mine? This, to me, smacks of dis-favouritism. It suggests that you monitor my posts and close those which you think you can get away with closing. Well, most of **Inigo’s** whacked-out OPs have a little surreal twist to them, a little oomph that gives people something to discuss. Yours lately have been kinda lazy. I think it’s the laziness more than the inanity that bothers people so much. If you’re going to talk about yourself or an idea you’ve had, put some effort into it. Reference something. Make a joke. Do _something_ to make it seem like you’re not just blogging and using everyone else as tools for your amusement. Look, this is coming from a fellow attention whore. I also enjoy walking the fine line between pointless and lock-worthy. I also like having a wide audience read my thoughts and otherwise give me attention. Again, IMO the problem isn’t that your threads (lately) are pointless, but that they’re lazy and poorly put together. ---

I sure hope this is not alcohol induced. If it is, tomorrow we will have at least 10 more threads: -Guess what I did last night. -Alcohol -My glass wasn’t clean -Did I pit Giraffe? -Giraffe, I love you -I wasn’t drunk, just tipsy -Alcohol -Did I start two threads called “Alcohol”? -This is the 9th thread -Meltdowns and you. ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > What the fuck is the point of a livejournal if nobody reads it? Haven’t I made the point that I am an attention whore? An attention whore puts his words somewhere where lots of people will read them. Here’s the crux, right here. If you need some attention, look to real life for some. **Giraffe** should not have to provide you with negative attention and the rest of us are a bit tired of the jumping up and down “lookitme!” stuff. You’re a nice guy. Go be a nice guy. Take a few days off from here and come back ready to talk about stuff that is more than navel gazing. ---

**Lobsang** , I must admit that when I see a thread that you started, I generally don’t open it, because I’ve been disappointed so many times in the past by your mediocre threads. BUT, I agree with you 100% that your thread should not have been closed, and it was very unfair of **Giraffe**. I think the subject of video blogging could have been interesting, and I would have liked to explore more about why you think you look and sound so bad, and people probably could have given you some tips and advice on how to do better. It was a completely valid topic. I think it was majorly assholish for Giraffe to close your thread. Shit has been slowing down so much here lately, we need all the threads we can get. ---

If we could browse wherever we wanted I’d spend very little time on the SDMB. Anyone know where Lobsang works and what it would take to let his IT crew know that their nanny filter is letting employees go to a “Dope” site? 😃 ---
