> [@Colibri](#): > > **etv78** , you never seem to learn from experience in this. You start threads and when they don’t go exactly as you want them to you start becoming obnoxious to other posters (and sometimes end up getting warned for it). If you find a few off-topic posts intended as jokes to be so intolerable, you shouldn’t be starting threads. Especially in Cafe Society. > [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > Thread-twinning. It’s like _déjà vu_ all over again! ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > FFS. If the entire thread had been like that, I’d see being annoyed. But it was like three very brief comments, surrounded by substantive answers to your questions. If you had just rolled with it, your thread would still be on track. Instead you got aggro and personal with people, and then they got aggro and personal with you, and your thread is in danger of being ruined. It’s like you set out the nice china in your house and then started pro-wrestling with the guy who clinked his teacup too hard on the saucer. etv, you should read this post again. And again. Because it (especially the analogy) describes your behavior in many threads (especially your own) perfectly. If you don’t really care (because, you know, message board), at least try to see how it might be applicable to you in your desired career as an educator. ---
