    Default In which I gently admonish Oliveloaf

    I'm sorry, I'm just not capable of anything more severe. Blame the Lexapro.

    Dude, dude,
    what's
    with
    all
    these threads?

    I hate list threads. This is a discussion board, but they prohibit discussion. The afford us no opportunity to be clever or to learn anything new about the reason behind other poster's opinions. I came here to engage with people, not to read lists of names until my eyes cross. And starting all of these in one day?

    I know, I know, don't like - don't read, blee blee blee. Oh, and I posted in two of them. That was before I realized we were going to have such a run.

    Thank you and good day.

    What's "Quik-E-List", anyway?

    Such language. I feel an attack of the vapors coming on.

    Oliveloaf smells the New Board Smell. It causes priapism or a lot of posting, and he decided to go the lot of posting route. Can you blame him?

    It is a tad yawn inducing and one wonders exactly what's being offered with these threads? There's no THERE there, y'know?

    Oh, totally understandable. But Oliveloaf seems like a smart enough guy, surely he can come up with something a little more engaging?

    Why not report them and ask for them to be moved to Games? That's basically what they are, right? They don't bother me, but there's just so many of them.

    How are they even games? They don't challenge, they don't occupy your mind for more than two seconds, they won't help prevent early Alzheimer's. They just...........are.

    Now this is something I can get worked up about. What the hell kind of question is that? How can you ask people to even contemplate such a choice? To put one above the other? Would you try to separate Seigfried from Roy? Fuck you, man. Homewrecker.

    Personally, I can't stand those kinds of threads either, which is why I'm happy they're confined to those yammery forums I hate.

    You know, I didn't click on any of those because it looked like. . . a list. More interesting stuff around. But it was worth it for

    Yeah, I saw those threads, wondered WTF was up with the Quik-E-List crap and moved on to more important threads.

    and to cheerfully ignore things that bug the shit out of you.

    He thought up, what he thought was, this cool idea. Quik-E-List.

    Next he'll want us to choose between Captain OR Tenille. Or a 4 way between Crosby, Still, Nash and Young. Horrors! What foul mind has thought up such fiendish evil? Get thee behind me, Satan!

    But he admitted he was avoiding editing tasks. Surely this excuses his excesses.

    OK, I don't know if you've just started making them again or if I've just started noticing them again, but now I must ask. What is the deal with Quik-E-List? What is it for? Where did you get it from? What do you use it for? What, when you get right down to it, is the point?
