Thing you would like other posters...

[Wild Cobra]

To do, or not do.

Here's one from me:

We all have little quirks, pet peeves, or what ever you wish to call it. For the umpteenth time, I came across another post that was nothing more than a link. I most often ignore such posts. WH is commonly guilty of this, so is boutons and others. I don't ask much, how about at least one wrote from the link that I can evaluate if I wish to click on the link or not... please...

Boutons, it was your post that triggered this. Since I seldom agree with you, or anything you link, why should I click on it? Is it that hard to pick out on relevant sentence or paragraph to quote?

[Wild Cobra's Surgeon]

I would like you to stop skipping treatments.

[ElNono]

:lol

[Bender]

well, I agree about the quick, drive-by postings, where there is just a link posted.

I would at least like a comment or something by the OP, to get the ball rolling.

[ChuckD]

I don't like posts that are just a complaint.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I would like you to stop skipping treatments.
:lmao

[boutons_deux]

Wc, gfy

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yeah. Its funny a lot of the same people that shit on Darrin's youtubing are guilty of that.

My son consulted with a young, up and coming orthopedic surgeon before his ACL surgery last October. Dude was interning for Freddie Fu.

I hate when people bump their own threads that are over a year old.

RG?

[Winehole23]

WH is commonly guilty of this, so is boutons and others. I don't ask much, how about at least one wrote from the link that I can evaluate if I wish to click on the link or not... please...no sympathy, no help. why don't you click it yourself and read? surely you don't think we'll believe you have some upper limit on the time you're willing to waste here. :lol:toast

some sites, like Financial Times, have policies that prohibit reduplication, others imho deserve the clicks.

i'll add commentary of my own when I damn well feel like it, WC, and if anyone addresses me wrt something i've posted, i'll usually reply.

[Winehole23]

Yeah. Its funny a lot of the same people that shit on Darrin's youtubing are guilty of that.lol "guilty" of contributing relevant links to discussion threads

[Winehole23]

lol white knight for WC'S pet peeves

[Oh, Gee!!]

WH also makes 5 posts to express what could be expressed with one.

[Oh, Gee!!]

that's annoying

[Oh, Gee!!]

don't you think?

[Winehole23]

there's no accounting for taste

[Winehole23]

besides, SpursTalkers often have difficulty paying attention. I believe it helps to be brief, in addition to it flat looking better on the page

[Winehole23]

I hate when people bump their own threads that are over a year old.

RG?sometimes stories get updated.

what do you hate about it? being reminded of silly things you attempted to pass off as weighty and important a year ago?

[redzero]

there's a difference between being brief

[redzero]

and posting incomplete thoughts

[redzero]

for no real reason

[Winehole23]

splitting up sentences is foul?

so noted. I was unaware of any unspoken aesthetic canon governing submission here. I'll try to conform to it as the details are revealed to me.

[101A]

I always thought WH's style added emphasis effectively.

[Winehole23]

I have deliberately chosen a more impressionistic style, and I really needed to bury my windier version. Receiving the flames for too short posting is a good sign in that respect, but perhaps fragmentation is a danger.

[Winehole23]

anyway, the kernel of any so-called thought or observation is seldom more than a sentence or two

[redzero]

... spread into five posts.

[Winehole23]

they did not all occur to me at once. they occurred to me serially.

[Winehole23]

is there an unspoken canon relating to consolidation I've gone afoul of?

[Winehole23]

I have to go back and consolidate my posts for you?

[Winehole23]

or am I to refrain from posting until I have consolidated them mentally?

[redzero]

Yes to everything.

[Winehole23]

picky picky

[Winehole23]

lol yes to unspoken canons governing consolidation of posts

[Winehole23]

lol consolidation trolls

[Winehole23]

who disdain afterthoughts introduced by anyway

[LnGrrrR]

WH displaying fine trolling skills. :lol

[Winehole23]

and attempt to enforce aesthetic decorum in a very lightly moderated current events subforum with practically no rules

[Winehole23]

lolz

[redzero]

You'd probably have a thousand posts tops if you didn't divide your sentences for no reason.

[Winehole23]

lol post count smack

[Winehole23]

search function is your friend if you're really so curious

[redzero]

Not post count smack. Just an observation.

[ElNono]

I would like posters to keep posting

[ElNono]

Thanks

[clambake]

....wires got crossed

[clambake]

what happened was....

[Winehole23]

Not post count smack. Just an observation.farbeit from you to express a strong opinion, for some reason

[cantthinkofanything]

And then began flapping her arms wildly, trying to put out the ...

[Oh, Gee!!]

We don't need to know every single thought that pops into your head, WH.

[Oh, Gee!!]

save some for the real world

[Oh, Gee!!]

thoughts that is

[Oh, Gee!!]

this is actually fun

[Oh, Gee!!]

I might starting posting like this all the time

[Winehole23]

We don't need to know every single thought that pops into your head, WH.then read something else; ignore or respond. a few dedicated dummies could drown me out easily.

also, I need to know them. Typing them out helps.

[FromWayDowntown]

Pith spread over several statements; the Twitterization of Spurs Talk.

[redzero]

One tends to not need to type their thoughts out to know them.

They also don't have to hit the "Submit Reply" button either.

[clambake]

we don't need to know every thought in your hole, winehead.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Mr Hole. Do you type with your pinkies pointing out?

[clambake]

Mr Hole. Do you type with your pinkies pointing out?

you lookin for a place to land?

That's a great quote for me to re post when you randomly insulting people.

[redzero]

Too bad there isn't really a connection at all.

Sorry, I forgot that you dropped out of middle school. Carry on.

[Winehole23]

Mr Hole. Do you type with your pinkies pointing out?uses his pinkies; thanks the gentleman for his concern.

[Winehole23]

we don't need to know every thought in your hole, winehead.you don't know every thought, clambake. believe it or not, I do edit.

[Winehole23]

One tends to not need to type their thoughts out to know them.good for you.


They also don't have to hit the "Submit Reply" button either.deal. feel free to continue to refrain from hitting the button, and I will do the opposite as suits me.

[redzero]

:wow Two sentences in one post?!

You're improving!

[Oh, Gee!!]

WH getting defensive

[Winehole23]

lol confusing quality with length

[Winehole23]

WH getting defensivenonsense. you're getting played with, and you don't like it.

[Oh, Gee!!]

nonsense. you're getting played with, and you don't like it.

how wild cobraesque of you.

[Winehole23]

ooh, cutting

[Winehole23]

[redzero]

fanny

[redzero]

flustered

[Oh, Gee!!]

who's defensive now?

[Drachen]

picky

[Drachen]

picky


fify

[Winehole23]

idiomatic, no correction needed

[Winehole23]

lol petty prescriptivism on all sides

[Viva Las Espuelas]

lol confusing quality with length

Ah. So you're not a size queen. Good to know

:wakeup

[Winehole23]

quality should count for something

[Drachen]

idiomatic, no correction needed

I had only gotten that far into the thread and thought it would be funny to split that post into two to over exaggerate. I didnt' realize at the time that the entire thread became about you. Made my joke a little less funny.

[Winehole23]

it's no tragedy you never got that far, as you just found out for yourself

[Winehole23]

Pith spread over several statements; the Twitterization of Spurs Talk.twitter allows 140 characters. I'm well under that on a majority of posts.

[Winehole23]

I consider that a real accomplishment for me personally


(buffs nails)

[CuckingFunt]

First world problems, tbh.

[JoeChalupa]

I'd like WH to stop pushing his post count by posting irrelevant posts...on that note I don't give a hoot what anyone would like me to do. I'm JoeChalupa and I've approved this post.

[Winehole23]

lol post count resentment

[Winehole23]

lol enforcing relevance

It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what other men say in whole books - what other men do not say in whole books. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols


Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief.
~William Shakespeare, Hamlet


The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do. ~Thomas Jefferson

[TeyshaBlue]

lol @ the WH dogpile.

Stupid thread delivers stupid.

[Agloco]

I'd like mouse to re-enroll at MIT so we can engage in some semi-cogent discussion about the composition of various foodstuffs.

[101A]

It SHOULD. It, however, doesn't.



Sorry.

[101A]

Wait, I haven't read the thread. What are we talking about?

[101A]

I just saw something about length and quality.....I just assumed.

[Winehole23]

it doesn't matter

[101A]

Thanks.

[Winehole23]

just say whatever comes naturally at this point

[Winehole23]

you wouldn't be interruptin anything
