You are a pretty good troll. Your Princess Know Nothing act has some people convinced.

^ I guess I'm still one of them.

This is your thread, Bruce.  I think you do have more to say regarding it rather than just smileys.

Just so you know, this post with the bouncing boobs and smileys is an example of what people are calling spam.  Other people call it emoti-whoring and many people have done it sometimes, particularly in the last word thread for example, but not to the extent you have.  Usually the person emoti-whoring in a serious thread is amused but others aren't really amused by it at all.

I'm not telling you this to say you should leave.  That should be your decision to make, not mine.  I do think that you have already toned it down since you started posting here and I think that you would upset fewer people if you toned it down some more.

It's all up to you. However, since you are extremely oblivious to basic human socialization, you may need professional help.

When everyone else on this board gets professional help you can talk to me about it. My prior post was just a joke for the idiots who don't know it.

Can't we talk to you about getting "professional help"?  I have eight bucks burning a hole in my wallet.  Can I get a little half and half?

How much does that cost?  And what exactly are you doing with those fingers?

Ha, what do you think I've been trying to do, since getting diagnosed?
Thanks, Calloway; while this is a serious thread, I did think it needed some lightening up & it was a poll, primarily. I wouldn't know about emoti-whoring, since I've never come across that term & we really don't want to get into the 'spam' debate, here, do we? (That seemed to stall in the callout threads, if you've not seen them)
Oh no, the evil webmaster changed my sig again!

Yup that was good Brucie.   I am afraid my answer to your question is 'No'.   Threads get derailed.  Shit happens.  It would be the same,  whoever made this thread so don't take it personally Bruce.

OMG, we are twins separated at birth!

There is no way he will be able to square this answer with our annoyance at him derailing Bodie's thread with spam.  I am thinking about this in the same terms I would use to explain something to my three year old son, so I expect confused outrage to follow.  :GA:
Not exactly! I asked them to do something, they said they wouldn't. Simple enough?

Exclamation point followed by a rhetorical question.  Good job at disproving my prediction of outrage  ;)
I do think this could do with a bit more explanation. OK, sure, I could do the, 'you hypocrites' routine - that'd be the 'outrage', would it? But there's no rule here against hypocrisy, since there's just about no 'rules' here, anyway! Right?
Spam:Verb:Send the same message indiscriminately to (large numbers of recipients) on the Internet.
The definition you gave applies to ALL posts here. Then, suddenly, it isn't the definition, it needs the 'random shit' adding in. & that needs defining, for the context, too, like I said. Assuming we are trying to have a reasonable discussion about this instead of the usual antics?
Please, either drop the 'spam' term or come up with a proper definition of it. Thanks!

The normal anyone will recieve with a leave or stay thread is "Go if you want, stay if you want, we don't give a shit"
Bad way to feel out people's value in you. They will not be guilted into making you stay nor making your possible stay easier. That works in suppot sites and this is not a support site.
Ironically I have found the kind of support here that works for me.
Here is my comment on you and your interactions here. I met you two years ago. For the most part then you were a pain in the arse. You annoyed shit out of me. There is probably 2 or 3 of us here who remember you back then and I do not think anyone of us will say that you have come in leaps and bounds in how you interact with people and how you are less self-involved and less confusing.
Unfortunately no one except for a couple of us have seen you three years agoi. They do not see the marked improvement.
The thing is to moderate how you post if you are wanting everyone to join in. Consider what others may like. It is not anexcuse to talk to yourself so you have to consider others.
No point considering "I won't get banned for this, so I may as well do it (and a lot)" It does not have to be necessarily banworthy to piss people off. Posting hitload of the same emoticon over and over, porn clips, bouncing tits, lols, Besides, my asshole hurts, and the like, when repeated over and over and used as mere filler for a unanswered thread, do not actually do anything but irritate.
Less reliance on emoticon and videos and the like to answer posts that peopelare trying to interact with, can help. When someone comes in and reads that the answer to a thread that they put their opinion on, in hope to start a dialogue, was answered by a handful of emoticons and Besides, my asshole hurts after it and then the next half a page as derailed further with people telling you to go fuck yourself., it does kill that potential dialogue. Maybe looking at what they are writing and if you thiunk you can contribute menaingfully, then answer, if you can't see if the next thread you can.
I think that is the way to do it. Don't be afraid to start your own thread or answer someone's question and ask your own at the same time. It gets activity and dialogue and sharing of communication going. It doesn't mean people won't tell each other to go fuck ourselves but at least there is a good reason and then the callouts that may ensue will be pointed and for good reason.
As long as i am spectator i will be happy.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Ow, ouch, or something. Thanks, Sir Les! Typically blunt, even if not all the 'instructions' actually make enough sense to me, yet. How to put this...? I really was not trying to 'guilt' anybody into anything! Mostly, trying to think before posting just gets me anxious & confused. While I do, quite clearly, get told not to think as much a lot more than the other way around.  :dunno:
Whilst both sets of advice maybe equally good, I can't work out when to do which, without thinking about it & then I can't be 'spontaneous' & so on. I am not 'self absorbed', either; do give egs & explain how they were that, otherwise?  :GA:
Are the callouts I'm in good entertainment, then? (Since Odeon felt the need to visit mine himself, I don't imagine he could have been too impressed with how the others were handling it...?)  ::)
