Spineless Lurkers

[Jamie Bond]

1) Theres nothing wrong with lurking

2) Theres nothing cowardly about prefering to lurk

3) Theres nothing wrong with reading the forum for entertainment without posting

4) If someone finds offence or irritation in people simply because they exist, but are doing nothing that they can see, then (The complainer) is either a stuck up moron, a shit disturber, or a troll so obsesed with getting attention that the fact that there are people on the forum who have not said anything to or about them irritates them enough to flame them for a responce.

6) Skipping the number 5 is mildly amusing

7) Baby penguins are brown

8) Sometimes you can feed a troll, and they will choke on it. But it's not recommended, seeing as they will eat anything quite happily; this, being a pathetic state of affairs, is a fact we should consider in the future.[/irony]

Also, everytime I post, someone hits their head on the monitor trying to eat my signature.

I think of this place as the opposite. This board is pretty slow so I've got time to get my (outlandish) opinion in even if I don't visit for a few days.

Being a lurker will cause people to think you're new even when you've been around for two years during meets.

Things like THAT don't happen. Ever.

Well, that's the theory, anyway. The reality, unfortunately, is that idiots rarely get smarter over time through observation.

[Euthanatos]

I'll agree with that.

[Judo-Marsupial]

Lurkers just can't bear to lower themselves to our level of stupidity.

Just my theory.

FLAME ON!

Quoted for emphasis because I'm just too tired to think up something better.

[quote="Euthanatos";p="536548"]Hmmm, so it's consensus that most lurkers should stay that way?[/quote]
And some posters should do more lurking.

Amen to that, brother.

And people should be more self-aware....

[Euthanatos]

Oh, totally. It's a shame how much irony and amusement people miss in posts these days. Someone should make a piss-and-moan thread about it or something.
