Thread: Whats the Point?

I cannot count the number of times I've opened a post due to interest in its subject or event and found it pasted with not just the initial cut/paste article but often 5 or more cut/paste articles all expressing the same general idea. I perhaps am not tolerant to this type of post, however just how many differing views must one get to understand and or make an educated reply?

Like most here I find this tedious and self aggrandizing as though more articles make the story more believable or more understood. FFS, just post it and see what the response is before you paste shitloads of crap nobody is going to read anyway.

I for one rarely read through an entire post of official scat and find that when these threads go on and on and on about whatever it is they're trying to express my interest levels automatically goes to "Abort Switch."

Has anyone got a idea on how to cut the crap and post the subject once and not 50 times? I'll make you a deal. You post the article once in reasonable length for a white mans understanding and I will read it through. If not you're on the "Abort List."

^rant over?

That's funny coz what shits me is OP titles where there is no clue as to what the thread is about so you have to open it to find out.

e.g.

I think you've got a good point, Itnt.

Don't hold back....get it off your chest

^ I think those who replied here all know exactly who and what I'm talking about. MID has to be the primary offender and there are many more who continue to paste their versions of an event long after anybody finishes reading the original post and then "Aborts," the thread. This thread won't last long, but as the previous posters have said, "get it out." I'm through winging now. Thanks.

Hate to say it Pal - but that statement has the slime of a Thai Wisa post all over it. Mid is someone who bothers to post news. You don't have to read it, but you definately don't need to bitch about the hard work cos it don't fit your particular shade of pickyness.

^ I don't read it anymore and haven't read it in a long time. "prickyness?" Nice one I'll have to add that to the CV. As for TV, not a chance, just another TD loony who hates multi-news postings that all say the same sheit!!! So whats wrong with that?

You may well have nothing better to do, but then who am I to say that? I also post meaningless crap on TD for the consumption of my brethren posters. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Now, piss off!

^How many cut/paste stories constitute good posting in your opinion BB? To be expected. Infomaniack.

I would take another look at the word actually used before adding it to your CV mate...

For a news section, where the point is to initially inform others about news: endless.

"Initially," being the operative word here BB. Lets see how many ways to report that the dog was run over by a truck, a truck ran over a dog, dog gets run over again, yet the truck wins, dog dead...so many variations of nothing but the same crapola over and over.

Hey, I know what he means and I can't be bothered by small imaginations. Evidently he likes to read the news, over and over again so he can get his mind around such absolute garbage.

Being one to prick the ego of others is not necessarily a bad character trait in many fields of endeavor. Done quite often and effectively here on TD. Hats off to those Masters of prickyness.

Jeeze mate - you need to slow down.

Albert used the word derived from "picky" - to be fussy, or overly fastidious.

Have a good look - no "r" - nothing "prick" about it.

Alcohol,the final solution,just think waht Hitler might have achieved had he drunk like Churchill

I would like to say thanks to Mid and all the the others that bother to give me the news .
I dont live near falang news papers and dont read Thai so again any news i get from Mid and co , thank you.

^
Exactly.

Why are so many OP's unreadable? You start reading and by the second sentence you start nodding off.

OK. Wake the fuck up!

You start pushing yourself, third sentence. the pain is gettin fuckin unbearable. Fuck this.


You awake?

^ Perhaps its the alcohol?

Where does one live that they cannot get the news? Must really be laid back to rely on posts here?

Just block the News forums from your New Posts search and all will be well.
