Gee Whiz - I wish I had the time...

[hrh_disney_queen]

Nah - I couldn't be bothered. I said what I said and I meant it. I am simply amazed that one poster in particular spends so much time on these boards just riling up trouble, posting the same thing over and over. I just can't imagine using my free time in such a manner. I still think it's sad, honestly.

I spend time on here when I'm planning trips - I've made friends on our cruise - I get the whole community thing. I'll scan the CB - the first page only - never have time for more than that and usually just skim over and read the first line or two of the first post in a thread. I just don't get the obsessiveness of some posters. It's simply bizarre to me - and I know that many psychologists are studying the effects of internet addiction. I do not think it's normal for someone to spend two to three hours a day posting news articles, stirring up trouble, researching the news articles to post, then posting more posts, responding to posts and having to read all those posts to respond to in the first place.

I don't even have time to read all the responses on this thread - I read the first page and the last page and wow - some of you are just pretty gosh darned thin-skinned and, quite frankly, rude.

Que sera. Carry on. Sorry to have disturbed so many of you with my thoughts. Pretty sad the way those of you on page 1 and page 7 behaved - can't even imagine what happened in between. Wonder if you'd all behave like that in the real world.

I haven't read this entire thread, so if this question has been asked, sorry. But............why did you start this thread? Really, I am interested to know..


Hi LaraK! Nice to see a fellow loser here on the "no life" thread.

 

[Ciao Mickey]

although, if I did, I wouldn't waste it on a message board.

I'm amazed at the number of posts some people make on these boards. I'm lucky if I can get in a half hour of reading every couple of days. I figured out the numbers for one poster and for over five years that poster has written an average of 12 posts a day - that's nuts! That's an average of at least one hour a day spent writing - never mind how much time is spent reading - I just don't get it. Who the heck has that kind of time? And, most of the posts are the same thing over and over.

Anyway - I love the disboards, but golly gee whiz - I just can't imagine having that kind of free time and spending it all online. I have so many friends and family that keep me busy all the time - I guess, if I were alone - I don't know. Seems really sad to spend all one's time on a computer with strangers. But, I guess, to each his own.

Have you ever posted under another screen name on the AOL Disney Boards?

 

[Piecey]

Ohmygoodness.. that is one scary looking storm!

I'd be turning right, for sure.


I mostly DIS while I'm working on homework... I take an online class and have about 100-ish problems a freaking week.. I can't sit here and do them straight.. so I do a few and pop over and post a bit.

Oh but you must read the whole thread.

LOL, smileybug. Thanks for bringing it to our attention over at the tagless thread. My weekend would never have been complete without it.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Nah, no intelligence needed. I mean, since we're all losers with no lives, there's no use in trying to fool anyone by pretending to be smart, right?

I is not pertending - I is smart

yet another post that took less than a minute to type...

 

[turning40withMickey]

Whew
and Gee Whiz

I have read the whole thread

and like someone a few pages back
I am envious of those with high post counts

I have 16 per day
which seems way low
since I post way more than that per day now
I was slacking for a long time

 

[turning40withMickey]

I am a fast typer too!

and a teacher who is blocked from the DIS at school (boo hoo)
so I have to do all my catching up from home
really cuts down on my free time
even though I have no life

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

Oh but you must read the whole thread.

Why don't you just give me the Readers Digest condensed version?


p.s..there's a naughty word in the pool in the advertisement at the bottom of this page.. Gone...wait now it's at the top..different pic, same word. If you see "Amari Coral Beach Resort" look for it..yes, I am so immature.

Maybe over on the teacher bashing thread? No seriously, stay here where you are loved..I teachers and I think they are terrific, overworked, underappreciated, and underpaid..especially after I read how some parents treat teachers on the other thread.

oh, I will stay here then
I don't need any teacher bashing

I still find it amazing the things parents call to complain about
never anything of importance
only ridiculous things

 

[turning40withMickey]

Is it possible that my post count could be going DOWN as I post?????

 

[coles1mom]

to complain about
never anything of importance
only ridiculous things

Like post counts?

.

Reader's Digest Condensed Version: Poster with, apparently, nothing better to do except starts thread criticizing other DISers for spending so much time posting, and assesses that we must therefore have no lives.

Thread results not in, as apparently hoped by OP, others in agreement but instead by multiple DISers having fun with the topic, posting multiple times to up individual daily post counts (which the OP calculated for an unnamed poster, mever mind that the information is readily available on each DISers Personal Profile page).

Resulting thread consists primarily of pointless, entertaining, even bragging posts - except the one or two responses from the OP.

Really, you 've got to read it yourself. Bookmark it for one of those "I'm really, really bored" days

You must read and type slowly. In the time it took you to find a poster and calculate the average number of posts per day, they could have posted all 12 posts in 15 minutes and be done for the day. Unless you don't have friends here to post to, like you do in real life - as you made sure to tell us, it doesn't take an hour to post 12 posts.

 

[scotlass]

Jeez...I must be real sad....i have the time difference to deal with and i still post Waaaaaaaaay to much !!

Nothing quite like sitting at 1.00 am posting non-sense.

OT- But what does the referrals thing mean in yer profile ?
