You know, I knew it would be pointless to pit you. I knew it wouldn’t change a thing and cause people to pile on me.
Thoguh for one brief second, I had a small thought that maybe, just maybe, you would actually think that maybe you were just a tad over the top.
Let my pile on continue.
Nope, it’s lame because you’re pitting someone over a sig. If you had some valid reasons for your pitting, then you might not be piled on.
Actually it seems to be turning into another SDMB Clique tm. thread
You mean there were other one trick pony threads in your honour? I had no idea, to be honest. But if that was the case, maybe it should tell you something.
Of course, that doesn’t really relate at all to my OP directly. Just saying is all.
I’m with Guin on this. He has an old sig that references old threads he started. So what? He could be more creative with it, I guess, but all sigs say something that’s usually off topic. I don’t see the problem as long as he obeys the guidelines for 'em.
Although, chuckle, ending every damn post with “esprix” irks me for some indefinable reason. I already know who I’m reading! You don’t have to tell me twice.

:eek: We’re supposed to add value?
Well, I for one add value by leveraging synergy across multidisciplinary platforms in order to create a new paradigm, thereby strategically enhancing our message board market share and post-to-debt ratios.
No, being a One Trick Pony[sup]TM[/sup] != being an Attention Whore. I, for instance, and an attention whore yet have not managed to create even that one trick.
Again, I’ve never read Esprix’s stuff, but the fact that this thread even exists does show that at least some people feel he’s a bit egocentric… So I can’t be too far off, regardless of how little I may know about his posts.
Uh, he posts those threads every time because they’re damn useful. I’ve seen homophobic posters refered to the threads (“do a poster search for Esprix and click on his sig”), and I’ve even seen a newbie on this board go from homophobic to gay-positive after reading through a couple of them.
That’s fighting ignorance. It’s impressive when it works.
Who exactly is the attention whore here?
So, Esprix, I don’t understand the rate of exchange here… you pay money to have people pay attention to you? Or you pay attention to people after they pay you money? Or… dammit, I just want to know how much it costs, really.
Ha ha. Taken out of context, but still made me laugh.
Touche
That’s just brilliant, Giraffe - can I use a variant of that in a business meeting I have tomorrow? It sounds great, plus, it would be a good way to find out if anyone else in the meeting reads the SDMB…
No, no, dear - didn’t you read the OP? It’s all about me. I charge a modest per-minute fee if you’ll just call this lovely 900 number to hear me wax poetic…
And my new honey, the Pinoy Boy Toy, is even more outgoing than I! :eek:
Esprix
All I gotta say is, I’ve seen Espirix’s picture on the Internet, and I wouldn’t exactly kick him out of bed.
And I’m “mostly” straight.
Any possibility of you considering that maybe, just maybe, it’s you who has a problem (a very easily remedied one, at that) and not Esprix? And that he’s under no obligation to conform to your whims?

This is about as funny as those threads that start out as Mod pittings, then turn into Mod lovefests.
Just my observation. Carry on.
mouse pointer hovers above the Show Signature checkbox…does he dare?!
My god, GMRyujin - could your sig line be any more self-absorbed? “Go here for my gaming stuff” - ATTENTION WHORE! :rolleyes:
(This sarcasm brought to you by The Society to Prevent Sig Lines, CuriousCanuck, President. )
Esprix
I wasn’t trying to prevent sig lines. But if I was acclaimed president, I assume that I get paid. Otherwise I would like to sue for being elected to an office I did not run for.
Maybe your next installment of Ask the Gay Guy should be “Ask the Attention Whore?” Or is that too ironic to be appreciated?
