    I have decided to renounce the ''Thanks System'' and resist as a non conformist the urge to ''thank'' posts. Feelsgoodman. I am free from entrapment. Enjoy low self esteem and the eternal quest for validation from complete strangers. #Buddha #BuddhaSayings #Buddhawisdom

    The internet is used as an excuse for keyboard rage. Have you considered boycotting the internet?

    Oh goody. Cue endless +1 posts and evening more ****e that slows down the conversation.

    (And cue dungeons who'd bound to add a +1 to this...)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    If you are freed from the need for validation from complete strangers, I'm not sure why you would feel the need to post your position so it can be read by complete strangers. When I don't care what complete strangers think, I generally don't tell them because why bother if you don't care?

    I thought thanks whoring was thanking too much - wouldn't giving away thanks freely make more sense in a whore context?

    Somewhat ironic given you created a thread to essentially seek validation from strangers.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    They can be posting for hours and not get a single thank, and then this one post they make, they could get a flood of thanks for it that keeps them going for a while until they need another fix :p

    Can someone explain to me, in simple farmer's serving-boy terms, what in the actual fcuk this "hashtag" caper is about? Oh and, thanks to everyone, including my parents, without whom I wouldn't have been born at quite an early age, the many and assorted school teachers who took my young braaane and whaled hairy fcuk on it - in a purely intellectual way, you understand - and the Pope, whatver his name is this weather, and of course Mr. Eastwood. Thank you very, very much Mr. Eastwood. :cool:
