FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING POST WILL YA!!! I \ have a \ long post that’s FUCKING SITTING FUCKING DOING NOTHING waiting to be posted to MPSIMS. I FUCKING KNOW _THIS_ post will get through! I am going to kill the SDMB if it doesn’t go through. I know I said I’d never get mad at the SDMB for being too slow again. I lied. ---

Well. that’s it. I’ve waited long enough I am going to break it apart and post it bit by bit (which is hard because there’s a big quote in it). You better look behind you a lot sdmb, and don’t go down any dark alleys because I am coming for you! I am going to kill you. ---

I have a question. How is it, that every time I post, the ‘posts:’ statistic on the left stays on ‘379’? surely it should increment? ohh, I get it (I think) it will increment, it will increment all my posts. sorry for wasting everyone’s time (as usual) ---

It’s all in the name of art/spicing up conversations/being bad-tempered or dramatic simply for effect (not attention. I said effect) I am really quite normal. It’s very easy to let yourself go on a message board, when you know you’ll never have to see the face of any of the other people on it. ---

> [@](#): > > It’s very easy to let yourself go on a message board, when you know you’ll never have to see the face of any of the other people on it. It’s also really easy to take a breath and not blurt out the first thing that pops into your head. The beauty of a message board: you can write, re-write, and re-write again before posting something to make sure it comes out coherent and “just right.” You-- theoretically-- have the ability not to look like a jackass because it’s not “real time” conversing. The downside of a message board: _everything_ you’ve ever posted can and will come back to haunt you. And people only know who you are from what you post. If a person does say something that makes him or her look like a jackass, it’s a permanent record, my friend. Happy ---

I have to get that post count up somehow. And this is a one off. I’ve posted more today than I’ll probably post in a whole week. Hey, at least it’s all good natured this time. Isn’t it? ---

> [@](#): > > I have to get that post count up somehow. Why? I assure you that there are posters with very high counts who are not really respected or liked; they’ve simply stayed far enough inside the rules to be cordially despised without being banned. Were I you, I would concentrate on quality over quantity. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oh-for-fucks-sake/115618.md?page=2)
