Sorry to butt in, but I have seen too many times on this board where there is an attention seeking nonsense poster that gets exactly what they want from this board! They have more replies than the genuine people in need! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Word to the wise- please do not post to nonsense posters. You are encouraging them, and it keeps bumping up the post so that more and more people get to waste their time reading it, just to find out it is nonsense~~~~~

OK- I am done. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I would have posted this on the latest nonsense thread- but I refuse to "bump" it........ <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

So, should we start with this one?

WAT

Honey, it's like driving by an accident on the highway...you keep telling yourself as you're inching closer that YOU'RE not gonna look....but you get right next to it, and BAM! You get an eyeful.

Then you feel like you're gonna puke for hours afterwards.

I'm glad I stayed away from them.

Just because the poster was a joke, doesnt mean the answers were. The valid answers had an audience.

I dont think they are any worse than the joke threads, the 'lighter' threads, or all the time wasted debating MB philosphy. Hundreds of posts of debate, bashing their heads against the same wall over and over, while real people with real problems were neglected. THAT's a shame - Dru

I don't think any threads are a waste of time... especially if they are on the general questions line.

Sometimes I come here looking to help someone and other times I come here to gain help myself. I find it helpful to write down my thoughts or to debate a topic... it can give me more insight into where I'm at. Sometimes I enjoy the lighter posts... especially if it is coming from a poster I am familiar with. Sometimes we just need to vent.

I've noticed that many posters have become friends and just the regular light-hearted chat helps them through.

This is a safe place to come for many different reasons and everyone here is at a different place in recovery. All types can be helpful.

I would not have read the CS "jokester" post, if I had not seen this one...(my curiosity got the best of me) so I thank you for that, liz.

Drucilla is right in that there are some interesting thoughts from some of the answers. In particular, Mrs. W, as usual... and unusually brief I must add <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ... did provide some excellent insight that I found helpful. (Of course, the insight then proceeded to turn into a ridiculous waste of time in lighthearted joking... shame on you, Mrs. W and all the rest of you who participated).

It all matters... just not to everyone at the same time all of the time.

Mrs. W<------Hanging Her Head in Shame...NOT!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


And for the starter of this thread...

Sometimes people post for THEMSELVES...It's not always for the benefit of others...The poster matters too!

Mrs. W

LOL ...

LA, you're a formidable smart [censored]. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

BTW, that IS a compliment.
