Mmm hmm, I’m ashamed to say I’ve begun to enjoy the train wrecks. A little voice in my head chants “fight! fight!” and sometimes I am known to chortle at particularily good swipes.
So, I make your eyes bleed, huh? Cool!
I like to watch those God/NoGod threads. All the time I’m wanting to post the links to all 237,959 older threads on this same topic. Both sides usually end up looking like extremely opinionated asses. Loads of fun.
I like to pick out who is the fucking One Post Wonder and see how quickly he/sh/it gets deleted (banning’s too good).
I also like watching and even participating in someone’s meltdown. I’m never mean about it, I just like to be involved, you know?
Ooh, I also like threads in GQ that are answered with horribly incorrect info. Sometimes I help out, but only if I’m positive of my info and can back it up. And they call me the no clue boy? :rolleyes:
Cool! We have our own bitch brigade! Who’s in it?
I LOVE threads about sex, although lately they’ve grown a little mundane. I also loved the original TMI Thread. I never thought I’d get to tell about the time I cut my scrutum with a pair of scissors.
Oh yes, another fan of the pile ons here. They’re so freaking stupid, I can’t help but to cackle whenever I see one.
I belong to numerous message boards, and almost every one has been invaded by kathaksung. (He lasted one post here, IIRC)
It’s bizarre, yet strangely intriguing to read his manifestos, with him totally oblivious to the mocking that accompanies every posting he places everywhere.
As soon as I see TMI in the thread title, I have to read it, regardless of the subject matter.
Any thread with “ashamed” in the title.
Think of a common(ish) thread title, and then predict what I, Lobsang, would post.
I’m still looking for WV_Woman’s meltdown thread… I completely missed it! Bummer; I recall her being mildly abrasive, but I think the only reason I remember her at all was that I have a lot of family in West Virginia.
Oh, and re. the OP: I *lurrrrve * a good meltdown thread. But I don’t post to them.
When one poster pits another, you bet I’ll be there in my court-side seat…
Also whenever Lobsang has the need to start a thread, you’ll usually find me giggling my way into it… (see: ‘!’)
I enjoy threads in which people try vainly to argue in favor of materialism, atheism, and other absurd philosophies. Nothing is more mystical than the musings of Hume and his worshippers.

What is a pile-on thread? Is it (as it sounds) where everyone and their cousin attacks an OP for some ridiculous breach?
Examples, please?

Of course, any poop thread started by lieu. Then there’s the various fart/pimple/bodily fluid threads. Anything Scylla starts. Threads which are likely to have good song parodys, Fenris used to do a lot of those I think. Anything about Fred Phelps, I’ve started some of those. Story threads, and anything that has Babylon 5 in the title.
Anyone wanna start a pile-on Pit thread on Lib? I’ll bring the popcorn!
I love the really bizarre cutting-edge physics (quantum theory is best) threads. I have a minimal physical science background, so it’s fascinating to read the debates.
All I know is that I’d pay good money to see a TMI thread which descends into a pile-on, culminating in a complete meltdown by someone.
Has it happened but somehow escaped my watchful, lurker eye?
Good question. It seems that most of the TMI threads die a relatively quick death.
I lurk by day and post by night, and tend to avoid threads with overly obscene titles. With that said, I’m ashamed to admit I’ve been following the men’s “do you like it…” thread. I love being a fly on the wall of the “all guy” forums.
The threads about the latest Chick tract. Love 'em.
I hate to admit it, but I love mocking people who show up here and are unaware that they’re in way over their heads. You know the type. They start lots of threads right off, they have exactly one point to make, they usually put things in the wrong forum, they get offended when mods try to help them, they can’t argue their way out of a paper bag, and they’re usually banned pretty quickly when it becomes apparent that they only wanted a soapbox.
There’s one in GD right now.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that I got entirely too much fun out of that “a” thread a few months back. That was such a stupid thread, but so much fun.
