I seriously just did this, buttttttt......

It has nothing to do with whether the topic is appropriate or whether I like it or because I am a stuffed shirt.

Those are all straw men.

It's because the subject doesn't need its own thread and the topic is unlikely to solicit any significant discussion.

It's a trivial moment in your life that you've spammed into its own thread.

It would have fit fine in the Random Notes or What's Up threads. A whole thread for it is excessive.

You keep doing this and you've been told this by others than myself. You're being a self-centered ass and creating unnecessary threads. Stop it.

How can that be correct logically speaking if you are arguing it shouldn't have it's own thread and I am arguing "why not?".

Isn't that the very definition of what you just said? You think it is not serious enough? Yea, my point is who cares? Or more like, what is wrong with it?

I am not trying to rent space in your head attempting to save face. I seriously don't see what the harm is.

If everybody created a thread for as little as you do there would be so many high noise / low signal threads that nobody would want to visit the forum. We don't do so because most of us have enough sense to realize that this would be the result if your standards for creating a thread were widely adopted. It doesn't happen because fortunately only a couple douche bags like you and Flat Asssembler are too stupid to realize that cluttering up the forum with threads nobody cares to read drives down the overall quality and value of the forum by diluting actual, substantive threads. Imagine this is a Google search. You put your search terms in and it returns a list of links. Which would you prefer, 5 irrelevant links for every page of 25 links, or 10 irrelevant links? 15 irrelevant links? 20 irrelevant links? What you're doing is creating the equivalent of irrelevant links, forcing everybody to waste their time trying to figure out if you are saying something worth reading, and just generally pissing people off. That's the harm you're doing, and you don't see it because you're too stupid to see how your insensitive actions affect other people. The reason what you're doing doesn't cause significant harm is because so few members are sufficiently stupid and insensitive to act as you do, not because there's nothing wrong with what you are doing. We're just lucky that few people are as stupid and clueless as you are. But where there are two, there will soon be three. And where there are three, there will soon be four. Eventually you and those others will have ruined a good forum.

Now, go look up "the tragedy of the commons." Sure, if one person pisses in the pool, no biggie. If three people do, not so little. Eight people piss in the pool. Regardless of how many, it's still pissing in the pool.
