Je-sus! I make one comment to **Munch** about agreeing with the opacity of a thread title and OP and **Grapefruit** goes apeshit and takes **Inner Stickler** along for the ride. I could be all conciliatory and apologize for wadding up their panties, but fuck it. I’ve had a bad day and they are fuckwits anyway. \ ---

> [@Grapefruit](#): > > You have no sense of propriety. Replies like that would be acceptable in “band name” threads, not as replies that feign confusion despite the answer being in the first reply. I’m one of the people you think was threadshitting, but I can safely tell you that you’re wrong, and you can cram it up your fucking ass. I have no idea who L’il Sebastion is, nor did I have any idea that Parks And Recreation was a show. It was only after going back and reading thru the thread because of your moronic rant here that I figured out it was a TV show. You have no sense of humor, are a jerk and deserve all the remarks people are making telling you so. ---

> [@Grapefruit](#): > > It’s pretty obvious by now that Li’l Sebatian isn’t a rapper. If L’il Sebatian doesn’t even exist as a rapper, what the hell are these people who don’t know who “Li’l Sebatian” is even doing clicking on the fucking thread, let alone posting in it? Rapper [Sebastian](http://hamptonroads.com/2009/08/timbalands-little-brother-sebastian-has-his-own-hit). ‘Little’ brother to some guy named Timbalands. Wouldn’t that make him ‘Li’l Sebastian’? Oddly enough, I’ve heard of Sebastian the rapper, but not some character from an unfunny sitcom. Odd because I like sitcoms (funny ones) and dislike rap. ---

> [@Ravenman](#): > > Wow, you have no sense of humor. The comments about L’il Sebastian were funny. I intentionally made the thread title vague, yet intriquing, in ignorance of a rule to have dull titles in Cafe Society. It seems to have worked. Except for the first idiot who posted about not enough P&R threads and then complained when there was one, the rest of the post were funny, and probably more numerous than the typical P&R thread. Possibly someone not watching the show would give it a shot. But I suppose the Cafe Society snobs can’t be bothered to look at a thread that may not be about the type of thing they are interested in. oOoOohh!! I am also so embarassed by a spelling mistake in the title too! That’s never happened before! > [@Colibri](#): > > Personally, I’m much much more irritated by thread titles like that that assume knowledge of what you’re talking about. At least have the courtesy to indicate that you’re talking about some TV show so that people are aware that it may not be of general interest. I also find it annoying when people resort to abbreviations that you have to figure out. (I find it annoying as a poster; I find it even more so as a moderator when I’ve got to go in and fix it.) > > I don’t have a serious with people who ridicule or express puzzlement over vague thread titles. It’s better if someone reports them; but the real problem is the on the part of the OP, not those who remark on the title. See I just didn’t realize the threads were meant only for those who were interested in something they haven’t read yet. I feel foolish for assuming anybody might be curious about something they weren’t familiar with. And I feel shame for causing the hardship endured by those who were forced to read the thread because they didn’t know what it was about. > [@friedo](#): > > The posts in that thread are not threadshit. The OP of that thread is a shitter for putting (what I assume to be) a spoiler in the thread title. (I haven’t seen the episode yet.) Yes, assume it is a spoiler even though you don’t know. That would be the exact opposite of shitting. (actually after starting the thread I realized that might be a spoiler, but it’s actually the opening of the show, there’s a cliffhanger at the end, and I wasn’t as concerned about spoilage as I was about the poor dopers who might have wasted a mouse click to see what the thread was about). **Grapefruit** - Thanks for the support, but most of the posts were funny. It was my thread, and I wasn’t offended. Now that I know the rule, I won’t even bother to start a thread in CS again. Everyone else: I’ll step up my threadshitting efforts. I don’t know what it takes to get pitted around here, but this thread hardly qualifies.
