Why participate in a thread you dislike?

Quote from Mr Subliminal:

Why this current obsession with proof? Just because I say I have a girlfriend doesn't mean I have to post a screenshot of her. Yet once challenged, the onus is on me to do so. Sad state of affairs. And since I've already mentioned her ....

She doesn't seem to mind sexual abuse:p
 
LOLOL.... thanks for all the replies guys. They represent the very best qualities of Elite Trader... wit and wisdom. I appreciate each one of your contributions.

:)
 
Paying attention to things I dislike rarely makes me change my mind but almost always helps me understand my choices better.

Simply speaking, I see it similar to sniffing a carton of sour milk, realizing that the smell disgusts you, but then sniffing it again a little later.

I have achieved fame and fortune by being that carton of sour milk!!

Rush, I mean Mush, I mean Bush; oh hell, just call me BRUSH.

PS: Hey ReardonMetal, how's the on- line search for opiates coming? Been pretty dry for me lately. Help appreciated.

Mr. Moderator, this thread is as lame as they come, but if you will please indulge it for a bit....yet as always, I respect your call.

When a thread is started that just irks the heck out of you for any reason, why do you participate in it? Actually, the members I am asking are the ones who participate repeatedly in a thread that clearly irks them, not just once.

I'm not talking about some of the threads in Chit Chat that are set up for debate... like religion etc. A thread such as The SP is Toppy or whatever more fits the bill here.

Simply speaking, I see it similar to sniffing a carton of sour milk, realizing that the smell disgusts you, but then sniffing it again a little later. What.... you thought maybe between earlier and later, things might have changed?

I'm just curious.
