It's NOT my choice whether some people decide to come into MY topic and mindlessly bash for the thousandth time, two of the greatest players currently in the NBA. Obviously there are no specific rules about what can and can't go on in a topic I create, but I would expect at least an ounce of intelligence to be put into these flow charts. It was my choice to come into MY OWN THREAD. The title wasn't "mindless Kobe and LeBron bashing," obviously I wouldn't have entered a thread if it was going to be full of crap. And I DID have to see this in the first place, it's my own damn thread, I certainly wasn't promoting stupid stuff to be posted in here, so it's reasonable that I'm pissed that there's a bunch of utterly unfunny crap in here
I'm sorry that I didn't pay attention to the fact that it was your thread to begin with, but the point is still valid. This is the internet. You know, the same internet that's been filled with noobs and half brain-dead 14 year olds since practically the day after TCP/IP was introduced to the public. Threads are going to get dumb-downed and derailed by the inevitability of idiocy and conformity to common attitudes (i.e. dummies trying to be funny). If you're going to have a stroke every time people rehash the same old bull, you're going burn yourself out real fast. And the funny thing is, like I've said before, instead of using that beautiful brain of yours to think of a new topic you'd like to discuss and let the simpletons have their fun, you try to exercise some measure of control over something you know you have absolutely no control over. That's the very definition of being anal.
Honestly, you knew what was going to happen. That's why you're pissed. But now it's time to get over it.
Here's the thing, you don't know my posting history AT ALL. I don't "have a stroke every time." In fact, I rarely create topics and I don't participate in Kobe/LeBron threads or whatever is "popular" (read: stupid) at the time. And I was doing EXACTLY what you said, I created a new thread with a new topic that I wanted to discuss, read, and/or laugh at. I let the "simpletons" talk about LeBron, the Heat, Kobe, etc. in the numerous gigantic threads already dedicated to them. Do you suggest I make another thread? I don't understand. I'm not trying to control anyone either, I'm expressing my dissatisfaction for some of the posts in here. It's not like I'm reporting them to the mods, hell, I'm not even specifically reprimanding anyone. I'm just pissed.
