I’m taking this to the Pit so as not to Hijack [your thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=148546) anymore that it already has been. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ryan\_Liam \* > **I’m not vying for attention,** Yes you are. A good majority of the threads are nonsensical in nature and seem to have no other purpose than to bring attention to yourself. If this is what you are like in real life, it is no wonder the ladies turn their back to you. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ryan\_Liam \* > \*\*I was sharing my problems and questions with people on the board. \*\* Like Fran said [in here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=148546&perpage=50&pagenumber=1) , get a Live Journal. Post your seeming endless problems in there. And when in here, it’s probably best that you keep some of your stupid questions to yourself. Even though you have the attention you were looking for, its probably not the kind of attention you want. Here is an example of your drivel:[ul] [li][What are the good effects of being a miserable bastard?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=146126) [/li][li][What the Hell happened to Ellens career?!?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=146462) [/li][li][Ok, any FAMOUS dopers here??!?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=146143)_(A quick search would have shown you that this question has been asked MANY times before.)_[/li][li][Why does being alone make you go crazy?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=146832) [/li][li][Whats it like to have sex for the first time?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=146174) :rolleyes:[/li][li][Why is masterbation a problem if someone wants to it all the time?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=147459) _(Not only was this in the wrong fucking forum, you made this thread and took no further interest in it leaving the Mods to lock it…and you’re not trolling for attention…sure pal…keep it coming…)_[/li][li][The Bible code: Is it a load of bollocks?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=147470) _(Again, do a search.

Not bad in and of itself, but most of them are in the many stupid threads you have started in that VERY short period of time! (See above examples.) So, if the shoe fits, bud.

To all the guys who are sick of me… Sorry for being an annoying twerp, I’m preety sure thats what Kwijybo wanted, anyway I’m sorry for being a jerk, an attention seeker, and for asking dumb questions. Most of them are good threads(in my head) but I just have no Idea to make them have substance or be interesting. Once agin I’m sorry. Oh and i’m having a break for a day or two seeya!

You skeered him off! **Ryan** , your questions aren’t dumb, there’s just, um… an awful lot of them. 😉 If you do wan’t to take up **Frannie** ’s suggestion about getting a Live Journal I’m sure one of us can get you a code. Take care, don’t let the Big Balding Ape scare you off, he’s a big teddy-bear really. Start a thread about boobies and you’ll see… (On second thought’s, maybe don’t) 😃 ---

**Ryan\_Liam** : If you want posts to have substance, you either have to work damn hard to make them have substance or post things that … wait for it … already _have_ substance. I know this is going to sound rather hypocritical, given my post count, but seriously … read and respond. Open a thread if there’s a good reason for it (the breaking of which recommendation I am guilty of, but which fact does not negate whatever truth there is to it). And get thee a livejournal so you can say, to anyone who comments about any inanity or one-trick-ponyness, “Hey, you chose to read it”. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Miller \* > \*\*So he starts dumb threads. No one’s making you read them. \*\* That is crap. It is not the fault of the other posters on this board when somebody is being annoying. No, we’re not being forced to read the threads, but they create a lot of clutter that we are forced to wade through in order to find posts with some actual substance. ---

**Geobabe** , I think a conservative 90% of the posts here are clutter we have to wade through to get posts with substance. Singling out **Ryan\_Liam** as being especially stupider than, say, almost anything in IMHO seems a little cruel to me. ---
