I’m referring to this thread, whereupon Skip Magic yells at me for calling somebody an attention whore. It turns out the OP was reviving some ancient convoluted wordplay thread from last millineum.
It’s like the geeks who get smug satisfaction from quoting obscure Monty Python lines that leaves the people around them scratching their heads. I sure put one over on them, Boy Howdy. No, you don’t look clever for doing so. You look like a epileptic blue-assed baboon showing off your chocolate starfish in public.
Inside jokes are fine when they come up during conversation. That’s something a close-knit group of friends inevitably do. But to start an inside joke thread out of the blue, much less one that only 2 people on the planet get, smacks of the most massive not-so-quiet desperation.
Sadly, your OP is not only lame, but also wrong. The OP is referring to an online game that some of our members played several years back. Just because you’ve never heard of it, doesn’t make it an inside joke, or the OP an attention whore. Unless you want to restrict the discourse in MPSIMS strictly to subjects that you’re already familiar with?
OK, inside REFERENCE, Mr. Picky. And I never suggested restricting the forum to only subjects I’m familiar with, so put Mr. Strawman back in his box. Then break out your dictionary and look up “hyperbole.”
Now, instead of acknowledging that perhaps thart might have been a mistake, you attack the subject of the thread, because you didn’t know anything about it and made an inaccurate assumption.
Sounds like anyone’s appreciation of the thread’s content will pretty much allign with their interest in online gaming.
It’s really quite the useful, multipurpose thread in it allows some to re-established a kinship within which they can share a passion and yet also doubles as one with which I can quietly use in conjunction with two Tylenol PM and a warm glass of milk.
