No.
Your threads annoy the everlovin’ fuck out of me, too, Lobsang. **Giraffe **did the right thing. Get a goddamn LJ. Get some friends on it, and voila! There is your attention-whoring.
Oh, and while I’m here, quit starting your question in the “title” box and finishing it in the OP. It’s really annoying.
Lobsang, are you drinking again?
I’m not saying that you are, but your recent change in posting behavior tends to make me think that something significant has changed in your world and/or inside your head.
I’m making no judgements. But I am curious, and a tad worried.
Actually Lobsang lately your posts have been totally wackado. Bad spelling. Missed letters. Bizarro World sentences. Cracked out topics.
I actually wondered if you were on a dunken bender and had been posting snoggered for the past month, although I assume the answer is no if you post from work. Maybe you need a hobby or something.
Anyhow, the thread might have been ok in MPSIMS but it was lamo to the n’th degree for the Pit.
Also, Giraffe is a lovely orange colour with attractive brown spots so you shouldn’t pick on him.
ETA: OK, Qadgop’s post wasn’t there when I posted.
alice, the thread was in the MPSIMS.
And I think there are dopers who’d have liked it to be kept open.
And my behaviour on the dope (if what you say is true) is therefore clearly mirroriing my outlook on life - life is shit, the world is shit, the world is controlled by shit people, what fucking hope do I have of a nice life.
Point taken.
Actually, I generally read the titles before the OP author and sometimes I’ll read the whole OP before I realize
. . . and then
. . . it's too late
. . .another OP read
. . . for nothing.
And oh wait, this is what you wanted all along, wasn’t it. . . more attention whoring. Sigh.
Lobsang, at this point the best thing you can do for yourself is to request this thread be closed and then take some time away from the boards. Even if it’s just a few days, it’ll do you some good. Give some serious thought to doing that, okay?
Jesus, first you pit the motherfucker and now you’re kissing his ass? Giraffe what kind of mystical voodoo mod hold do you have over Dopers?
It makes more sense if you read them in a sarcastic voice.
If we’re talking about the one that was just closed, no, it wasn’t.
You’re right. That was at least a three pointer.
Seriously, though. Stop posting in this thread. You’re not doing yourself any favors by prolonging this.
You’re being too damn modest.
[/sarcasm]
Nice try Q.E.D. You are one of the dopers I like. But in all seriousness what I’ll probably do is go to bed, then continue tomorrow as if nothing happened. You see I am not actually going through a meltdown here, this, and other ‘meltdowns’ are manufactured by the other dopers, not the doper considered to be having a ‘meltdown’.
delete Just read the last paragraph…{{{{{{Loby}}}}}}
Advice taken. I agree I’m probably not helping myself. Goodbye and see you all tomorrow (oh boy that’s going to be one hell of an embarrasing thread of conversation to recap)
Drink one for me!
Honestly, Lobsang, if this has been an alcohol-induced wig out I really hope you’ll take some of the advice that’s been offered and get help. It sucks that you feel like your life is shitty right now – don’t go all self-destructive on us.

Anyhow, I’m sorry you’re having a rough time lately. However, you may be correct - your posts lately have just not been normal. Not even for you. 
I didn’t say you were. You know yourself better I do, of course; I’m not going to attempt to psychoanalyze your posts like that idiot, leander, likes to do but IMO your recent posts reek of elevated stress levels.
Giraffe, first of all, you cool as hell. So, I can’t get on board with a Giraffe pitting. But I’m gonna go ahead and admit something I always secretly felt. Lobsang said something that I have always felt…some of the famous meltdowns on these boards do seem to be…uh, helped along by those that are ‘trying to help’.
Even after the man says, “ok, sure. I need to chill”…mad people jump in to say, "Dude! Chill!! Take it easy! SIR, SIR, CALM DOWN SIR!
That shit never helps.
ETA: I’m not saying this because I have always liked Lobsang. He does have that balance of insecurity and arrogance that I find interesting. I’m saying it because I am a fan of trainwreck threads, and that is one component of them that I do often notice.
