My biggest fear is pissing off the long time bandsters. Newbies with too many questions (like me) sometimes get a bit put off by the ol timers that treat us like morons... that will make me leave a thread fast.

i hate when folks get on a thread talking about how they can get wendy's and burger king and a host of other foods that we certainly should not be eating and then witch and complain about not losing.

and i hate it when folks attack people that are just venting their issues and folks that attack other folks. it is all nonsense and craziness and takes away from the effectiveness of the board

and i hate when folks start a thread with a specific question or concern and people respond with something that has absolutely NOTHING to do with that particular thread

Here's mine... *gets into character*:

i had surgery one month ago now everytime i eat my eyes and ears and butt and fingers bleed this only happens when i eat and then i go puke it all back up and i puke up blood and some chunks of body tissue and something that looks like gray spaghetti oh and one time a sock but that was just a week after surgery so i figured the surgeon musta left it in there and one time i peed and it was bloody and had hair in it and something that looked like a lego... and then usually after i poo or pee i pass out but i always regain consciousness within like 4 hours or so im never unconscious for more than 4 hours but when i wake up usually im blind for a few more hours and i cant feel my fingers or toes and im kind of dizzy and cant walk for a few days but after maybe a week or two i feel back to normal and the bleeding stops does anyone else have these symptoms? what is it? should i take pepto bismol?

What kills a thread for me is total absence of common sense. I have no problem meeting someone halfway, hell - I'll even go 70%, but come on - you have to show you're at least trying.

I seem to kill threads...

Wait... I can kill this thread.

Hi, Paul here,

Where are all the hot chicks?

My opinion is...:heh:

[barbara465 2]

The responses are so funny that I've forgotten what this thread was about. ..... oh yes, thread killers. Mine has been mentioned, but it bares repeating. I can't stand it when someone talks about their insane behavior, like fast foods all the time, eating bread, popcorn loaded with a tub of butter, pancakes, candy, Pasta, etc. etc. Why in the hell did they get this band if they weren't going to try?

If someone says, "you're wrong" - that will kill a thread for me, because -- OK, your mind is made up, there's no sense in trying to move forward. Same with "You said X but you're not acting like X". Again -- OK, you have your mind made up, and I have a busy life. I enjoy a good debate, but I get no enjoyment from a finger-pointing/blaming session. Nor do I get enjoyment from preachy "do it my way because I'm doing everything right" posts, and will leave pretty much as soon as I see the tone sway that way. And just general disrespect & the blatant, hateful sarcasm. Life really is too short, and some people just seem to need more attention than I'm willing to take the time to give.

Yeah, that could all be lumped up into the "trolls" or "problem children" category.

There's more to my earlier response than the content. An obnoxious font will kill a thread for me, because if I have to highlight something to make something readable, I probably don't need to read it. And if I have to actually stop and think and truly work out what someone is trying to say because of poor grammar, punctuation, etc. -- it's something I probably don't mean to read. Now -- having said that -- I don't mean I won't read posts with misspells. But when I see (from a native English speaker) something like:

hi?. ive band and is good? ok thanks? haha do you eat Water?

or

how r u dooing i have a ? for u do u eat lawzawnya? gr8 c u l8r

... then you're only getting so much of my time, and it's not a lot.

Its been said several times already, but I too get put out by people who complain that they are slow loosers, but then turn around and talk about all the bad choices they make.

Very well said. In addition, it would be nice to see more people admit that they COULD be wrong or accept a different point of view. My views are not perfect for someone else, they are just MY views/opinions. I expect to hear different opinions.

I'm a bit over the plastic surgery threads. I'm so happy for the people who've lost their weight and have to get that skin taken off, what a fitting end to a highly victorious battle. But all the "I'm going to be so HOT" bores me. That's fantastic, but sometimes it all gets so superficial. What we are going to be is wondefully happy, victorious and feeling the best we can about ourselves. Whether or not we look HOT to others is irrelevant and very very superficial. What in the heck is wrong with looking 40 (or 45 or 80) for crying out loud? Who needs a washboard stomach? Or gravity defying boobs? Those arent what make a person beautiful.

Ouch!

It's not always about the superficial Jachut. It's not for me anyway. I'd prefer not to have a TT, but the sores under my belly, because the skin rubs all day long is just no fun at all (not to mention the smell if I don't shower 3 times a day, wearing nylon from thigh to bra line, the rashes, the heat from the nylon...)

And given I am the only one having PS at the moment, I can only imagine this is directed at me.

I guess that is a bit of a killer for me. Actually it is making me think twice before coming here. It appears that anyone that has reached goal is very out of place here (anyone notice that there is no "life at goal" forum?) To the point of being unwelcome.

Aussie Chick I think you just killed this thread...lol

What kills a thread for me is when someone comments on something that another poster said that has nothing to do with the topic at hand, rather it's a sidebar....lol^

I personally think everyone's wrong. *laugh*

On a side note though - a discussion can be easily killed by everyone either agreeing to disagree, or agreeing with each other.
