Seems a bit hyperbolic and out of character compared to your earlier posts.
Question: why are some of you so extremely concerned about to the degree of being infatuated with other users/handles.
Your use of the word "Infatuation" creates an interesting characterization. I have never heard of you, yet I have analyzed your profile, post history, and posts. I noted that you joined ET on 3-1-22, already made 825 posts, but you ask the question below if ET is our home, our life. I also noted that you already have four followers, two of whom I consider substantial. Impressive, but I wonder why the word "Projection" pops into my head? (Rhetorical question).
Some of you analyze and clearly keep tabs on others post history, post patterns, timing of posts, and private details. What's up with that?
Speaking for myself, there are several reasons why I have analyzed posters of interest. One reason is to identify the substantial posters. Another reason is to communicate on their level. Another reason is to identify and analyze how different personality types interact with each other on social media. Finally, posting patterns can be like fingerprints. It is possible to identify a poster who has changed their handle through the way they use language, how they respond to certain situations, the types of subjects they frequent, post timing, frequency, and length, to complete a linear analysis. There is non-linear analysis of someone's posts to consider as well. There are many reasons why people, including myself, post and those reasons can change from day to day. While some of these reasons may not meet your approval, it is what it is.
Is ET your home, your life?
I bet some of you guys even maintain spreadsheets to keep tab of stats on other users. Outright weird and creepy. Get a life.[/QUOTE
The above comment seems intellectually weak. You suggest a fact without support, you draw a unsupported conclusion based on that non-fact, then you offer advice when you have not established credibility. Personally, I do not need to keep a spreadsheet of posters and I don't, but would not be adverse to it if it helped me get more out of my time spent on social media.
I preliminarily assess your personality type as an authoritarian with solidly above average intelligence, but with only above average communication skills. Your depth of knowledge is likely substantial, but your communication skills may detract away from an authoritative presence.
Welcome to ET.
