Maybe a naive question from a relative newcomer.

I am just wondering,

hondasam · 03-09-2011 9:21pm

AnamGlas · 03-09-2011 9:21pm

the thread below was
Id love a ( 1 2 3 4 5 ... Last Page)

4leto · 03-09-2011 9:25pm

Just noticed there seems to be a lot of repetition and the same points on each page of a thread.

So its probably a case of some do, some don't.

OK - but where's the question ? The thread title is an instruction, and I tried it.

I admit that sometimes if I have something VERY IMPORTANT to say that everyone NEEDS TO KNOW, I'll skim through things a bit, especially through posts that seem repititious and not so important.

Not if it's more than about 15 replies long. With the long ones, I jest read the last ten posts or so.

It's a good question, never mind those on here who are just messing with ya.

chucken1 · 03-09-2011 9:36pm

yes usually but depends on how many pages there are!!

Nulty · 03-09-2011 9:38pm

It's always interesting to try to spot the point that inevitably sends the thread spiraling out of control and into the hands of the Godwins Law et al..

Kevin Duffy · 03-09-2011 9:39pm

I voted Atari Jaguar, but that was before I read the excellent points made in favour of the other options.

Particularly in a debate-style thread where there's basically just two points to be made, and you get to a specific point where it just becomes a constant back-and-forth, and the different ways of making the two points have been used up.

Then after another while everyone gives up on it except for two people who keep arguing, never getting close to either agreeing or compromising.

Wertz · 03-09-2011 9:42pm

If I have the time and topic interests me enough...otherwise I just jump in and post something which might be a repaet of someone else's general point or due to a deviation from topic may be by then completely out of context.

Oftentimes there seems to be a lot of repetition and the same points on each page of a thread.

Kent Brockman · 03-09-2011 10:01pm

If you are coming in late to a thread just use the following template:

Have to say i agree/disagree(select 1) with aforementioned interesting topic/bullsh1t (select 1) .
A,B and C (assign usernames) are talking bollix but only E&F (assign usernames) have a clue what they are talking about.

Wait for attack/loads of thanks from ManU supporters (depending on what teamu support.

.............logs out:D

Conor108 · 03-09-2011 10:12pm

Depends on the length of the thread tbh

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 03-09-2011 10:13pm

Yes but it depends on how many pages there is

WindSock · 03-09-2011 10:14pm

Nope. Sometimes. Depends on the title like.

If i catch the post at the start and its interesting for me i will follow it ,but for some threads its to late when i catch them so they dont get my very important opinions in them :-)

Cee-Jay-Cee · 03-09-2011 10:53pm

Everything in moderation, including moderation. . .

Solnskaya · 03-09-2011 11:42pm

nah, why bother, just post random crap that lurches close to what you really think but edges towards political correctness... what was the question again?

Nulty · 03-09-2011 11:45pm

Yes, thats why I post in so few threads.

Joe10000 · 03-09-2011 11:49pm
