First, you do realize what MPSIMS stands for right?

Second, are you fucking blind?

Whenever I see a thread by **Master Wang-Ka** , I know that the title doesn’t necessarily tell me what the thread is about, that it won’t be a two-sentence OP, & that I will be at least chuckling if not outright laughing as I read it. [Case in point](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=890493).  
My own recent [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=886599) intentionally has a clickbaitish headline, & while it does describe what the thread is about it also doesn’t.

In the Boy Scout thread, you’ve gone on, ad naseum

Yet you’re _starting_ a thread calling just out one poster. Where’s your dignity & respect towards **Beck**?
