I've kind of avoided one thread in the lounge for a while, but now that I have something of a revived interest in it I see that it has gone from 3 to 11 pages. What should I do? Should I scroll through the pages that I missed or will I waste my time because some members didn't get along and started a stupid shitstorm for no reason? Generally I wouldn't ask that question off the bat, but I've seen Vanilla, Trollheart, Oriphiel, and Soulflower have all posted in said thread, so it's a question of necessity at this point.
Do I skip all of the posts and just make a post hinting that I haven't read a bit of what these motherfuckers have said, so should I try to revive the thread by saying something totally unrelated to the discussion before it? Or would it be better for my persona if I commented on something from the last two pages (which is presumably just more bullshit someone thought was offensive discussing whether or not what they read was indeed offensive with someone who was clearly not offended by said post; I haven't read the thread, I'm just making an assumption here given the current climate here on MB) with something really douchey and offensive? Should I carry on ignoring the thread?
Sometimes I feel like I'm carrying on too much with questions in a given thread. How many questions per post is acceptable? Is five cool? I think I've exceeded that but I'm not sure yet. Not that this thread is about me or anything, but how many problems should I solve from other members posted in this thread before I can consider myself a decent human being? I figured that it would be five, since I haven't solved anyone's problems yet and I'd rather not be considered a good person as far as the community of MB goes (I mean imagine if you were the hero of infidels, that's a worse existence than being an infidel in itself) and I'd rather not have other people slap the saviour label on me. But are these questions worth asking? That's all I really want to know.
Can you help?
