3. Hello, the name's Rowdy, and I kill threads
All kinds of threads, wantonly, ruthlessly, with no regard for the author. I have an irresistable urge to post things that leave people too bored to respond.

God, I wish I could feel shame!

10. Hmm... Depends on the amount of pride they take in threadkilling
This could turn into a competition into who ends up killing the thread... it could take months... But likely our stimulating conversation and witty thread killing comments will end up making outsiders do this...

8. I used to think that my threadkilling was an anomaly...
but I guess I just stake 'em, and a LOT of them.

Staked into the ground without a whimper. :shrug:

13. I am now here...
Sink, poor little thread, into the wafting nothingness of the archives. But be proud for that one glittering moment when you existed, young and strong, among the threads extolling Janet's boob. For I have now come, like the Grim Reaper, to escort you to your new home.

For I am ThreadKiller. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.

I'm here on a court order. I kill threads daily. I am unrepentant. Y'all are a bunch of losers. I'm only here cause I'll be made to go to the gun dungeon if I don't show up every day. So there! :P

33. Look at it this way
When you've killed a thread, consider other people having read your post and said to themselves "well that settles that; that was so funny or insightful or devestatingly brilliant and it answers all my questions on this topic. Adding to it would dilute the impact of that post"

At least that's how I rationalize my thread-killing.

41. Going for a full set this week ...
I'm Nihil and believe I am currently the UK's leading contribution
to the international section of Threadkillers Anonymous.

This week has been particularly outstanding in that respect.
Is it just my occasionally offbeat sense of humour?
Or my Englishness is unattractive?
Or I'm a boring bastard?
Will I ever find out?

Maybe I'm just on too many people's ignore lists ...

Whatever the reason, greetings to fellow sufferers! :hi:

I think I kill threads because I am not as funny or witty as everyone else ...

Don't go believing that for a second (unless you also post under the
name of ... oops :spank: ).

Humour is like beauty: the source varies widely from person to person
but the effect is purely down to the beholder.

53. Ha! I laugh at you mere mortals
I am known in the underworld and darkest regions of the Forums as
"Sir Rad....Lord of the Threadkillers"

Even the slightest presence of my login and password causes many intelligent, thoughtful threads to perish in severe, antagonizing tortuous death.

This thread MAY not die because I've paid a princely sum to the demons of the underground but as soon as I leave this thread,
all others will be doomed...
