“My dear young man, sleep *is *an opinion.” – G.B.Shaw
I am fully aware that I am a pathetic little shit. That is precisely why I frequent suicide sites.
Your theory is that I do it so people will tell me I am a noble, suffering hero. By way of rebuttal, I invite you to take a look at the suicide sites such as the google news group http://groups.google.com/group/alt.suicide.methods?lnk=lr which is one of my favourites, you will see that there is none of the ego-gratification for our “noble” suffering that you assume. Are you a doctor of psychology or psychiatry, doc? You will have to find a new theory. How about this one? People seek self-liberation because they are pathetic little shits. But social conditioning and condemnation of self-liberation, plus the unavailability og many of the more painless and quick means of killing oneself and a fear of failure, mean that many people hang around those sites for months, even years, sitting on the fence. But every now and then, someone disappears from the news group. The trouble is, it is difficult to know if the Caught the Bus or if they just stopped posting.nThere are however dozens of cases where we know that they were successful because their families or friends notify the news group.
But ego gratification? I have been called a pathetic little shit and an attention whore on this thread alone. You think that that is gratification? Since you are one of those paragons of objectivitry, Doc, you will have to find a new theory to fit those facts.
You both annoy and sicken me.

If I annoy and sicken you, there is a REAL easy solution. Don’t read my stuff! I paid $14 to ride on this whore and if you dont like what you see, look away!
Mangetout posts on average 12.45 times a day!
Der Trihs tells me 10 times a day is not that much.
They both remind me of the alcoholic who thinks a bottle of gin a day is “normal”.
Using a post to open a bile duct is about as dramatic as sticking your head in a crock pot. You might get a little bit of sizzle, but only if you’re oiled up.
I have no dog in this scuffle, but I do like dichotometic humor 
I forgot to mention there was a little “trap” embedded in my message.
You see, folks, I am a recovering alcoholic (completely dry for 13 years now) and I understand the nature of addiction more than most folks.
And one sure sign of addiction is that the addict will lash out with extreme anger and hostility to anyone he or she perceives as somehow threatening their “drug of choice”.
I have been called a “pathetic little shit”, an “attention whore”, “sick” “annoying” and generally lambasted and told to “piss off” and “fuck off” by over 100 posters, and that is just in the first 17 hours since my OP.
Others could come up with nothing more clever than attacking my use of multiple ??? and !!! in my OP. Real smart?
Then there was that part about the lions??? Sorry, but I must admit that allusion went right over my head. What are you referring to???
All this because I was critical of your drug of choice, the SDMB, which, I suspect in the case of people who post 10 or more times a day, insulates you from pathetic reality of your pointless, cybernerd lives.
To repeat my opening quote by Nancy Gribble (You know, the one who is boffing the big Indians stud, John Redcorn, on King of the Hill “Truth is like sunshine, Shug! People used to think it was good for you.”
Mangetout is a Brit, for him a bottle of gin a day is normal. So what’s your point?
1920s style deaf rays… : snikker :
Actually, you’re right. I didn’t realize that you were threatening my Opium High Colonics. I fully admit I have a problem and that’s why I always vaguely smell like poppy seeds.
Wow. This has been an entertaining thread to read. I’ve had a great time.
One little thing, though. Could someone summarize what the OP was on about? It was too long and boring and, for that matter, poorly written. I couldn’t work my way past the first sentence. Ditto posts #102, 103, 106.
“I am a fruitbat.”
Fond of gruff billy goat are you, Valteron?
An addict who no longer uses is still an addict, hence the term “recovering” applied after 13 years of non-use. You’re still a self-abusive lush but rather than a bottle you lord your shame over others–internet nerds who are held at a safe distance from you. If you’re so jealous of folks getting entertainment in a way that baffles you, why not do the honest thing and just crawl back inside your bottle and hide? Come on…you know you want to. hell, I want you to. Go on to your nearest dispensary, buy yourself a few drinks and get on the same soapbox you’ve pulled up in here. I assure you, the responses you get will be much more in touch with reality.
Tell you what, ban yourself and I’ll send you $14.95. Want it in cash or beer? You ignorant fuck.
The SDMB suks, I suk, you suk. People post too much. Except Valteron.
Valteron, pull yourself back from the brink or whatever, please! We’ve disagreed in the past but I think you’re kind of an interesting poster. But this melodramatic flameout stuff is extremely lame. FWIW.
:Checks watch:
No furries posting about having sex with it?
Valteron, dude, chill. You’re losing it. And while it’s fascinating to watch (kind of like a train wreck of clowns - sad and funny at the same time) you’re probably going to regret it at one point.
'ello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You soiled my fruitbat. Prepare to die.
Okay, I’ll stack my lack of post count against yours any day, and I think you’re a waste of electrons and a dumbshit to boot.
So there goes your theory in a wisp of objectivity. Any more?
I burning your axe.
Excuse me, I did not lash out at you and by your definition, I am the worse addict here. I think you are selectively choosing the most hostile posts to try and prove a point of your own devising. At least half the posts in your thread/trap are attempts at humor. Your point is hardly proven by a few hostile posts.
What say you to that Valteron?
Jim
Yes, yes…we all get it. Subtle, you ain’t, Valteron. The Dope is like crack. Now quit bogarting that pipe.
As for Valteron being a fruitbat, I quote:
Although fruit bats are good at flying, landing is another story! Fruit bats can’t land gracefully, and instead must crash into bushes or trees to come to a stop, or try to latch onto a branch as they pass by. Sometimes these crash-landings disturb other fruit bats at the site, and cause noisy fights amongst them.
