In this particular case, it doesn’t seem like the poster considers his time to be a tremendous investment of time and effort, and/or that he has forged real bonds with other people here.

The stakes are REALLY REALLY REALLY low. Meaning, as I recognize that my ‘give a shit threshold’ is low, that it’s inevitable. > [@A Pre-Emptive Goodbye](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-pre-emptive-goodbye/527417/27): > > LOL. I think you missed the point of this thread. I know this concept is a very difficult one for people to grasp. I want to continue posting for as long as it is tenable to do so. If it becomes untenable I will shrug and probably be more productive. 😉 > [@A Pre-Emptive Goodbye](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-pre-emptive-goodbye/527417/104): > > lol > [@A Pre-Emptive Goodbye](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-pre-emptive-goodbye/527417/108): > > If I get banned from the board, I’ll be sad for about 15 minutes. Really, honestly. There are tons of other message boards on the internet. I know how to build one myself. It really doesn’t matter that much to me. I’m not saying I WANT to leave, but it’s not that big of a deal to me if I do. Sure, I go up and down, but believe me, getting permanently banned from the Straight Dope just won’t matter that much to me. > [@A Pre-Emptive Goodbye](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-pre-emptive-goodbye/527417/109): > > LOL Hardly the words of a heartbroken man. The main conclusion I formed after reading his good-bye/kiss my tuckus thread was that we need a new rule to penalize overuse of the acronym LOL. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mswas-banning/527552)._
