If he _was_ the college boy from North Jersey, he was pretty consistent about pretending to be a retired Vietnam vet.

Shagnasty wasn’t getting enough attention, so he bumped his own pit thread with more trolling bullshit. And the fucking dopers eat it up and keep feeding him, including many contributors of this thread who really should know better.

Jesus, just ignore the pathetic troll. You don’t have to respond every time he posts.

I don’t know. I thought **Guinastasia’s** posting of recipes for Russian food guaranteed to produce flatulence was pretty entertaining. 😃

You know John, 82000 posts at 5 minutes each is the equivalent of 3 years of working a full time job.  
You win a life credit, you can exchange it for a life at Costco. 😃

I find his pathology interesting. How broken do you have to be to continue to seek negative attention?

I’m not sure we do ourselves a favor to think too much about that idea \*\*Mr. 10K \*\*posts. Especially not when we think about what our personal reading to writing ratio is. Somewhere around 10 or 20 to 1 :eek:

Yeah, damn. Also, I’m not prepared to admit how long I spend on single posts, sometimes, but 5 minutes doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Looking back over my own 27,233 posts, I’m mildly impressed by the fact that 98.73% qualify as _quality_ posts.

My 10k, are you serious? I’m just a noob on the post count list way at the bottom. But, I do not need hot gun and a putty knife to scrape my ass off the couch. That comes at about 50k- 80k posts I hear. At this rate, that’s still 40 years out for me.

I guess you didn’t get the memo on post counts.  
Here, I’ll post mine! 🙂

10k posts. Novice. Noob. Beginner.

20k posts. Unsupervised domestically. Wife probably still thinks the SDMB is accounting software.

30k posts. A divorce and many lonely nights alone in hotel rooms with shitty WiFi.

40k posts. A divorce and many lonely nights alone in hotel rooms with very fast WiFi.

50k posts. Still looking for the meaning of life and any sign of intelligence in government. An optimist.

60k posts. Likes cats a lot. Can’t get enough kitty pictures. Also Anti-vaxxers.

70k posts. Life support may be necessary soon. Breathing coach requested.

80k posts. Needs Costco life certificate and treatment, and heated couch scraping implements.

90k posts. Typing fingers completely worn off, needs day and night nurse to continue posting.

100k posts. Hands gone, mind gone, ate computer.

The important metric is current posts per day. Unfortunately the board software only gives you overall posts per day, but even that shows that some of you guys … 😃

But I’m right dammit!! And look at all these fools dancing to my tune. **My** tune! The useless fools. Their ignorant words bounce off my pure impervium hull. Watch, \*watch \*them bounce!

Or something about like that. 🙂

One of the hallmarks of addiction is the exponential curve leading up to the crash. Not good.

Dammit, that’s better than my Bounceonium, even with proper angling.

They sell that at Costco?

Get called a lying clown enough and one is forced to look in the mirror to check for a red foam ball at the end of the long nose, right?

I guess I’ll never understand what someone gets out of being a laughing stock. Even if it’s just for the troll of it.

Using the average posting rate for the last 500 posts as a stand in for more detailed data it seems you’re in the clear then. Historical overall rate of 4.02 per day and recent rate of 1.90.

Average of 3.6 per day for me, and I find that hard to believe.
