Ok wolfpup. I am sorry, I got a little peeved. But I do want to carry on here. I admit I am irritating questioner. I always have been, I seriously just want to know things. I really have cut out the ellipsis usage. LSLguy straight up told me what to do. I know there is a history of another Doper who went crazy with them. But, I am not that person. I am not trying to tell anybody what to do. I don’t presume to have any ability to know what is right or wrong, ( except for rules list in ATMB). I don’t post in any other message board. I am just me and I am here.

I try to ask myself whether my posts add anything to a particular conversation. About 50% of the time, I think they do. 25% of the time they don’t and I hit the back button. The last 25% of the time they don’t, but I post them anyway and regret it later. 😃

Okay, you ready? Twice on these boards I’ve used a French phrase where the English would have done perfectly well. I’ve piled Poe’s Law on top of a Godwinization and tied it up with an ad hominem attack.

Not to mention running off at the mouth just to delay the punchline of a bad joke.

Is there any way we can make a hidden Trolls R Us thread so their prey will stop following them in here driving chuckwagons?

Just chill out. You took the requests seriously and…stopped…ellipsising…for…now… Good on you. Only thing left is to get over it and begin interacting with people on topics _interest_. You being mad is not very interesting.

We’ve discussed it. I proposed knitting; deep sea fishing was also a candidate.

I’m thinking probably something less popular, like 1920’s stamp collecting, or the study of alpine lichen.

How about taking some inspiration from this thread? [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20524033&posted=1#post20524033](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20524033&posted=1#post20524033)

Stool-diary entries and analysis?

QdM is an MD. He is permitted and maybe people who have real questions but are too shy to ask can get help there.

I could understand if you had a particular problem and wanted to ask about it. But I’m flabbergasted by how many people are sharing their stool type with strangers…  
“Hi, I’m Ralph. Curly and stringy, with blackberry and tobacco notes.” “Hi, Ralph, I’m Denise. Chunks of acorn-shaped hackysacks, with a hint of grass-fed bovine.”

Maybe the actual survey is “How many people will overshare how much info?”
