When this Bored finally becomes a ghost town, will the only posts left form an observational dictionary?

Will beast really have the enthusiasm to keep all his MM talking to each other, when there's no other audience?

My MM rarely "talked to each other" anyway....
Some things are sacred though, like day number whatever....

Re: Seriously, Sprots?
Sprots began doing these observations a couple years ago when I suggested that people were choosing to share in other more eviler places rather than here, which was contributing to the Bored's demise. Sprots decided to start contributing this...
Taken as a daily thing, I see nothing wrong with it at all.
However, mass catchups like this do a classic Seven Clues body slam on the Bored, burying and crushing what threads had been active among a sea of similar themed threads (and ones which are rarely viewed to top it off with). I would recommend the next time that Sprots gets behind, she chooses not to unleash them all at once...

How about if she misses a day, she misses a day. Period.
If its not that important to her, believe me, its not that important to us.
Not that much of what anybody posts is that important to anyone else, but out of courtesy, don't muck up the board and make it completely irrelevent to everyone but yourself.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
