I don’t have the highest thread-killing ratio; but I kill threads by my unspectacular responses. I wish I could always be as entertaining and erudite as some of the other posters here. The problems I have reaching that are: I don’t post in sex-related threads I don’t post in flirt threads I don’t have a passionate argument or position to post in GD I don’t troll I post only when I have something to say I’m a self-identified geek; being a Star Trek, D&D, and computer games player/fan My name causes fans of 31 teams to hate me There are probably other reasons, as well. ---

I kill threads with this statement. “I had sex with Hitler” It usually works too. 😃 ---

I bet the mods are the biggest thread killers what with their locking and deleting threads. ---
