Yeah, that was an assumption based on your "this cheered me up" and "this didn't" when you pointed out that you're not one even though you've been here for three years. Just like you're assuming that i'm stressed out by this, when all I am is amused. :D

True. Although most members keep them for the EoEo board. I was using the example I posed to illustrate how (effectively) EoFF is a essentially a arena of action and reaction. This is how scientists see the world. I've just changed the boundaries.
Fair enough.

By admitting that you CAN think of it does raise the point "Obviously its crossed your mind..." The other point is that people others were discussing it fine until you decided to get all high and mighty on the subject. You are aware that by asking "inane" questions like this, we've managed to develop as one of the primary species on this planet?
Of course I can think of it, it's sitting here staring me in the face, and m y natural reaction was to think about it and others like it. If it wasn't here, I wouldn't have considered that people would be concerned over such a thing. We may well have developed into one of the primary species on the planet through questions such as this, and the planets far worse of because of it.

It was a question. It raised a discussion. It matters as far as that. Lots of things in this world don't matter. The result in the football, the dog barking outside... It is our opinions and reactions to these that MAKE them matter.You liking of the team that lost at football makes the result matter. You're opinion that dogs are bad makes the barking matter. You're agressive reaction towards this thread makes it matter.
I don't know why you assume i'm being aggressive. Is a negative response automatically aggressive or something? Or maybe because I used a cuss word? You're reading too far into my dialect. The thread was a question, I asked a question too. Results in football are of far greater meaning than how one becomes a celebrity on an internet forum.

I personally feel we should celebrate our fellow man more. Maybe this thread will reveal why we are celebrating their actions? A question to you, why has no one given you reason to celebrate? Your point also raises a issue, is a member like crashNUMBERS a celebrity? And if so, does he deserve it? kyono thinks not so.
I feel we should celebrate our fellow man more as well. But I think people who are considered "celebrities" should be doing something worth celebration.

Importantly, Just because the subject matter doesn't appeal to you, does that mean it is wrong? Most people would pass over such a title and ignore it. But you feel the need to attack it... That alone reveals a lot about you. You do realise that by doing this you've illustrated what BoB was talking about CrashNUMBERS in practise...
Again, I wasn't attacking anything. I was curious as to why something such as this matters to anyone.
Edit: I pretty much agree with everything Raistlins said, too. I'd rather be myself and be a nobody than change who I am to be somebody.
