Post and Run.
Edited on Tue Dec-26-06 03:17 PM by graywarrior
How many times do you commit that cowardly offense? I do it in GD DAILY..sometimes 3 or 4 times a day.

Even better...how often do you read and run? Bwahahahahahahaha!

:rofl:

1. Sometimes I post, then fall asleep. Does that count as "running?"

2. No. It counts as post and sleep.
And how often do you find yourself asleep after making a post?

3. I do it frequently
I see someone being an asshole, and post a flame in response, but then subsequently lose my taste for a flame war and ignore it.

I pretend not to see that it has replies until it falls out of the last 20 posts. Even then I don't really relax until two days later.

I am so useless. :blush:

5. LOL, I try not to engage in flame wars
but in GD - Politics these days its hard not to. My latest offense was cursing at someone for their knowitall post, and hitting the ignore button. I have a response, checked MY DU, but I refuse to read it. I'm not useless, I just don't want to get pissed off again.

:mad:

Maybe now is the time. I don't think anyone takes me seriously. Gee, I wonder why?

60. Oh my god,
I usually feel compelled to read those responses so I change the settings such that I can see only one of my most recent posts. Then I post like crazy to get the horrible thing out of my top twenty. I've never seen you post anything nasty or controversial, but then I venture out of the Lounge only once a day, in the morning usually.

10. I do it all the time depending on what i post BUT i would never
START a thread then abandon the thread. maybe that is why I never start threads. :shrug:

when I post and run in a thread it is because sometimes i just want to speak my mind then be done with it rather than stick around and deal with the aftermath of my post, if i get responses. i often don't check for responses. i sometimes will post on a thread then hide the thread immediately after. it all depends.

14. guilty
it's just my style to comment and move on. And in my defense I have a disintegrated disc in my lower back that needs a decompression fusion. I can't sit at the computer for very long. I have to stand up and walk around to stretch out. I want so much to make friends in the lounge but I'm such a jerk about sticking around long enough to hold a conversation or participate in a flame fest. Gotta run :)

17. Sometimes I'm posting just as my wife is coming in the door
When that happens it's time to shut down for the rest of the day/night whatever, in fact I expect her at any time now.

22. Well warrior,
I am glad you brought this up. Because I have never known the etiquette on answering posts etc. I see nothing wrong with posting a thread and leaving. It will sink or swim on its merits or whatever. I don't think it is cowardly at all.

But some of us don't have time to hit refresh all day. :P

And, for some reason, I don't have a legion of fans racing to answer my posts. :shrug: That's just a mystery.

By the time someone answers, it's usually squashed down under my new posts.

I didn't know that.... I ALWAYS do this but I DO check in every now and again to see if by some quirk of fate I actually got a response. I got one last week...no maybe it was the week before but anywho she just wanted directions...I felt so special...but just for a minute.
