SDMB has no love for exciting people

I think the SDMB is one of the few places on the net which is genuinley funny. Crappy chat rooms etc that cater to inane, boring people laughing at fart jokes are ten a penny. This is a place where genuine wit exists in abundance. Themis why do you waste your time moaning about this board? Why not just find another board more suited to your ‘humour’ and leave quietly?

Most of us read the boards because we want to know what really happened, what is really happening, what will happen next, how something works, why it doesn’t work, how to make it work; we want to hear what others say about a piece of art and share what we feel about it; we come here because we have information to share and questions to ask and a hope that somewhere on the board is a person who can ask a question to which we have the informative answer and someone who has the information that will answer the question that we ask; we come here because we may not always agree with the opinions of the people on the board on subjects like politics, religion, or sex, we can at least discuss them with other people who know how to discuss them in a civil way; and we don’t get 3 confused with E or 7 confused with T or # confused with H; and even when things become uncivil we have a special compartment for discussing things in an uncivil way and even that forum has rules; and because we have wonderful board admins who make sure things run as smoothly as the hamsters will allow.

If your definition of “exciting person” is someone who stirs up antagonism to no good purpose – someone who sees a class and thinks we need a clown – someone who has nothing to say but takes pride in his manner of saying it – then there isn’t much that person will add to this forum.

Maybe you do, but the rest of us have 46. :wink:

I’m sure it was a typo. Mehitabel has 38 chromosomes, and her typist is error prone.

I think Mehitabel was trying to imply that we’re all gorillas. :wink:

I resent that. Now, where’s my damn banana?

Looking thru Themis’s post history, I can tell she is a real comedian, and her joke’s that she’s an idiot.

:frowning: WHY THEMIS??@??@?@?@?@?

WHY?!!??!!?!???!?!??!?!

Have some sarcasm pie, jackass!

That’s how I do it, right?

Considering how the OP defines “exciting people”, it seems that if we had more exciting people on the boards, we’d live in more interesting times.

“Hi, I’m Themis. You may remember me from such locked threads as I’m bored and How many dicks can I cram into my mouth? Some of you may be wondering what I’m still doing here after starting so many inane threads, a half dozen of which were locked. Heh, I’ve got to wonder myeself; but I’m really here today to tell you all about the dangers of sniffing glue. If you are like most people, when you look at a delicious tube of solvent laden epoxy you can’t wait to get that tacky goodness up your nose. I know - I’ve been there. Like 98% of Americans between the ages of 12 and 25, I’ve gotten glue wacky. They say paste is the gateway adhesive, and lord knows it’s the truth. What 2nd grader has downed a quart or two during recess? But for me, it became a habit. Back then no one knew that it could be harmful. But today we know that all this happy huffing has a downside. It’s got something to do with neurons or neutrons, or somesuch. So next time you want to feel that euphoric floating sensation, please lay down the glue and snort spray-paint. Thank you.”

Ah, they’re 1920’s style “Death Rays.”

Now see, Waverly’s post, just up above, there? I found that funny. A bloody hoot. Do I have a love for such exciting, comedic writing around here? You betcha. :smiley:

Well, being just a newbie here still (I joined a week ago)… I think this place is full of exciting, interesting, witty, intelligent and fun people. OK, ok, I know I’m only new and I haven’t yet strolled through every topic, thread and post (but who the hell would have! This place is massive!) … but from what I’ve experienced so far - I’m having an absolute hoot! I LOVE this place!

It seems to be a forum which has no real extremes… just a nice ambience. There ARE exciting members. No doubt there are also the bothersome ones as well. Thankfully I haven’t come across any as yet.

I can’t stand forums where all you read is constant mindless comments that really offer nothing else.

Sorry moderators, I hope you don’t mind, but at this stage, I’ll be staying around in here for a little longer yet! :cool:

I’m exciting! I’m spending saturday studying biology, then will hit some Japanese later, followed by video games since it will be about 1am or so. Go Me!! WOOOHOOOO!!! Extreme Tars!

Because…

“trolls” are jerks
“comedians” are jerks
“idiots” are jerks
“credible posters who happen to be controversial” are the same as “trolls” in the way you use that phrase.

Actually, lepers are welcome.

That’s p’ogram you jerk.

Mmm…sarcasm pie.

Such senseless violence. :dubious:

[whisper whisper whisper]

Ohh…

Never mind.

moriah: Lepers are welcome, but the intelligent among us will probably refer to them as people suffering from Hansen’s Disease.

:wink:

Waverly: Themis00 made it to Threadspotting with one of her OPs. Going off topic-boooooo!

But some bastard followed it up with:

And so a classic was made. :wink:
