Who here has killed a thread?
Just thought I'd celebrate my 800th post with a cheap and tardy (but not tawdry) copycat.

I think I've killed a lot of threads. Some just to see them die.

And one yesterday, that just "needed killin'".
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=115760&mesg_id=115760

Anyone else kill threads? On purpose? Accidentally? Pre-meditated vs emotional knee-jerk?

800


:party: :toast: :bounce: :woohoo:

4. I doubt that ... You're a lover, not a killer ...
NWC, you breathe life into way more threads than you kill.

With the exception of the threads you cause to be locked (in a GOOD way :rofl:)

6. LOL! Thanks, JustABozo...
:hi: :D :hug: You're so sweet! :D But it's true, sadly...

And for some reason, I really DO have a penchant for getting threads locked... What's that all about? :shrug: :P :rofl:

10. You edited your response?
I bet what was originally there would have killed this thread in a heartbeat.

I won't ask ...

9. Her pipes are great
but it's her whole attitude. She's remarkable.

5. I'd like to believe that when I respond to a thread
that promptly freefalls into the memory hole, it's because what I said was so insightful that simply no more needed to be said. And no one will try.

But I really, really doubt it. :)

8. That can happen, when you answer "42".

The answer to everything.

edit: I mean, the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

17. I'm gonna kill a few ...
beers this afternoon. It's zero degrees out, so I'm not driving anywhere.

Oh, you meant "threads"

:rofl:

18. Yeah, I was surprised when
the posts sort of stopped after mine. I didn't expect to actually kill that one, just maybe divert the venom a bit.

15. I used to think "Threadkiller" should have been my screen name
I'm thinking about becoming a professional ;)

Congrats on getting out of the 700 club!
