What’s worse is “seagull” thread starters. They fly by, poop, and fly away, never to be seen again. Some call this as being pretty damn close to Trolls, but even long established posters are sometimes “guilty” of this, and usually the OP isn’t quite as controversial as a true troll. There’s a thread in the PIT about grocery cards that is a good example of a “seagull”. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > Well, #4, yes, but more to the point, #2: > > How the hell do you know they’re just drive bys that people don’t come back to defend if you don’t even bother to read the entire damn thread? More often than not, after a few jokes the thread turns into a serious discussion about the OP, usually a discussion by most of the people who were making the jokes in the first place. Well thats good, but thats not what I’m pitting. I’m pitting the initial post itself. I understand that not everyone here agrees with this, but I don’t like them because they’re too easy and often hijack threads. ---

Some threads are so moronic they only deserve a one line reply to the OP. (this thread ain’t that bad 🙂 ) ---
