I would humbly suggest Kwyjibo, that you dislodge whatever object it is that appears to be firmly planted in your ass. The kid needs some guidance and support, not randomly jumping on him in his thread. If it was that much of a problem, email a mod, or email ryan himself. There many were appropriate ways to handle this, but pitting him was not one of them.
You mean “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. Peter never cried wolf, he shot th’ damned wolf! 
But point taken otherwise.

Thank you, Fen. I was assuming she was comparing Ryan’s compulsive thread-starting to Prokofiev’s use of the individual instrumental motif in thematic development, and was about to question the validity of her argument.
:smack:
You’re right, thanks ** Fenris**
::Note to self, do not post after consuming more than 2 glasses of wine::
Thought that was pretty obvious, but I’ll lay it out, bare bones for ya: This isn’t about too many threads. This isn’t about the subject of the threads. This is about Ryan_Liam not being entertaining enough for Kwyjibo. It’s about a guy obvious self-esteem problems being attacked for having obvious self-esteem problems. It’s about trying to start a dogpile on a guy for being boring f’rchristsake! I’ll take a dozen of Ryan-Liam’s pity party posts over one snotty, baseless attack thread like this one, any day.
You mean I’m not going to go to the future with Sir Gary Coleman?
Bummer. 
“Oh look Toto! Here comes the scarecrow!” :rolleyes:
Not entertaining enough? Give me a break. My beef is with him is over the numerous pointless threads for no other reason to bring attention to himself. Have low self esteem? Looking to get attention? Fine, do it elsewhere. (Like LiveJournal.)
So I started a dumb pit thread. No one’s making you read it.
As far as I can tell, there are exactly 2 reasons for starting threads here. One is to ask an actual question, the other is to draw attention to yourself.
If you don’t like the attention-seeking threads, I would suggest that you not read anything from the ‘MPSIMS’ or ‘The BBQ Pit’ forums. The OP’s in those forums are all about drawing attention to yourself, not about asking questions.
I’m up to my neck in irony here…Someone throw a rope!!!
I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone told me that if I didn’t like this thread, I didn’t have to read it. Thank you for maintaining my expectations, Kwyjibo, but I’m just playing by your rules. I don’t like this thread, so I can pitch a tantrum and whine about it until the target of my attack gives up and goes home. That’s how you play the game, right? Really sucks when you’re on the receiving end, doesn’t it?
:rolleyes:Bite me.
I wrote that for no other reason than for you to see how stupid your first post in here was…guess ya missed it. I guess I should have put in the old “:rolleyes:” for you ‘wooshable’ folks. (The irony was intended.)
But seeing as that it’s being pushed, please explain how my thread is ‘baseless’. Did you not see the threads I linked to? You don’t see his multiple threads as being annoying and for not other reason than to get notices? (The mods sure did, hence the new rule, and that’s enough for me!)
My rules? :rolleyes:
Give me a break. How can you look at Ryan’s posts and not think that he is tr…oops…vying for attention?
I have no problem with wanting attention per sa, but this isn’t the place to do it. And not in a manner that he has demonstrated.
Look at the list of threads I linked to in the OP! If he doesn’t know WHY he likes something HE likes, then self esteem is the least of his worries.
Kwyjibo, if you had emailed a mod and kept your fucking whining to yourself, I wouldn’t have had to read this trainwreck waste of a thread.
You owe me 3 minutes.
Of COURSE he wants attention, you fathead! What the fuck do you think the point of half the forums on this board are? Why else did you post this thread, except that you could push some newbie around and make yourself look big by comparison?
And yeah, I got that you were trying to be ironic. You failed. Now, is there any chance of you shutting up any time soon?
I’m not the one denying this fact, he is. (And he wen’t about it the wrong way…a way that some here found annoying.)
So is it official then? Can I take the title of The SDMB Bully? :rolleyes:
Sure there is. When you stop coming in here I guess. 
Mods, I do think it’s time to close this up. I have to agree that it has gotten out of hand. (Feel free to wait until Miller has responded if he so wishes.)
Naw, lock it up. I’ve got nothing left to say to this guy.
FWIW, I’ve changed my mind, he’s just a fuckwad.
Ryan, either you’re a troll or your IQ is below 80.
oh, come to add to the ball of twine,eh?
Ryan, firstly, this is my second post in this thread (hint: you can look one page 1).
Secondly, the question you asked could have easily been answered by looking it up in a book. I went to Manchester Uni. We had stuff like books back then. Has something changed? If you are to lazy to turn a page, the I belive there plenty of online dictioanaries available.
If you cannot understand why people are getting pissed off, then you need to some serious thinking.
READ THE THREAD: My brother has used my username to basically act like a bastard on the boards.
To everyone sorry. Won’t happen again.
Ryan, can you even explain why you posted that “Monopoly” thread? If you had enough computer know how to find this board you should have easily found the “Reference Site Sicky” at the top of the GQ page. There you would have found a link the Merriam-Webster Dictionary web site.
Come on already!!
