There is no one, out of the 1000+ plus posters to have ever participated in this forum, who arouses enough interest to generate what will almost certainly become a 50+ page thread, in less than a week's time.
Oh, William. You're really not thinking this through.
You know that mess with James Patrick Holding, Kevin Graham, Russell C McGregor*, Dan Peterson, and myself last year? Of course you do; you referenced it earlier in this thread.
Do you have any idea how many times the incident was brought up on our forums over the years, yet discussion of it never got to more than a few pages? No one seemed to care.
Then I got involved for the very first time, and suddenly the issue exploded into thread after thread spanning dozens and dozens of pages, all in less than a week. The moderators at MADB had to forcefully shut down several threads and clear
pages of frivolous comments from others, people just couldn't stop talking about it. As I recall, you never commented on the matter. Not once.
Now let's turn to your antics on these forums. Several people have tried to document them before.
Pokatator's thread is over two years old now and has only just barely hit twelve pages.
Darth J's thread on the subject only got to three pages, even though
Darth J is something of a favorite around here.
Then I started my thread and . . . well . . . I guess you know how that's going.
I'm sorry to ruin your narcissistic fun, but you aren't the reason this thread has gone to 47 pages in just over two weeks. You really,
really aren't.
