The only \*real \*difference is that the retards on “that other board” admit they’re retards and don’t take themselves seriously, whereas the retards here insist that they’re “the smartest people in the room.” ---

**Blanche** , there have been problems with that board in the past, with people sneaking over here as “socks” - alternate accounts of the same poster - and “trolls” - those who post only to deliberately try to stir trouble: indeed, they had a campaign of trying to “out” posters a while back, and created guest accounts to stir up trouble here. That’s why there’s a certain sensitivity about that place, and linking to it is frowned upon: I’m sure you’re quite unaware of the past tension and began your thread in all innocence, but when a guest starts a thread wanting to know “What do you think about me?” and linking to that board, people get suspicious - and I’m afraid, vindictive - about your identity. Perhaps you should be aware that there are many posters here, including a lot of guests, and few people will have had a chnace to form any impression of you: if the first thing they see is a thread asking them “What do you think of me?”, it raises both suspicions and hackles. I wouldn’t worry too much about the phrases “attention whore” or “drama queen”; they’re just expressions, and to an extent we’re probably all attention whores, or we wouldn’t be publically posting. What I would suggest is that you don’t start any “Tell me about me” threads: if you do decide to stick around, people will form an impression of you, hopefully a good one, from what you have to contribute. Take a little time to lurk would be my final advice - read through the various forums and threads and that ought to give you an idea of what does and dosen’t work around here: if you have any specific questions or are unsure about a thread you want to start, either e-mail a forum mod - they’d far rather be asked in advance - or ask for advice in the About This Messageboard Forum {ATMB}. Hope that helps, and do stick around. Case. ---

My cup runneth over. Thank you to the many dopers who have shared the link with me. Unfortunately, as that site doesn’t seem to have a search engine, I can’t satisfy my own attention-whoring by finding out if I’m the subject of any posts. C’est la vie. ---

> [@Blanche](#): > > I wasn’t trying to drag off-site drama here, obviously the people who are reading my posts and linking to them from this other site are posters here, I was just wondering how common this is - whether a good percentage of the posters here are thinking I’m someone I’m else or whether it’s just a vocal minority. Trying to or not, your thread was exactly the sort of thing that _does_ drag off-site drama here, which is why I closed it. Arguments from other websites should stay on those websites, even in cases where the people involved are members of this message board. Heck, _especially_ in those cases. They don’t belong here. As for your offense at me calling your thread attention-whoring, I have two things to say about that: 1. It was. 2. Don’t be such a baby. Poor customer service? I like to think of it as extra flavor. Although it may make you feel better to know that they cut my pay by 10% every time I call someone a whore or a liar. ---

Although it may make you feel better to know that they cut my pay by 10% every time I call someone a whore or a liar. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature! 🙂 I have to agree that “attention whore” is such a mild accusation, and it’s not at all limitted to message boards. If you’ve never hear that IRL, then you need to get our more often. ---

I don’t hate them, and I think people who are needlessly cruel to them are generally messed up in the head, but I just can’t understand people getting worked into a frothing rage over animals being killed in some other country, especially when they seem to ignore the fact that millions upon millions of animals are killed every year here in the USA. I kill or directly cause the death of dozens, if not hundreds, of animals every year to protect my family and property, and I can’t condemn others for doing the same. ---
