Drivel - Statistics

Some numbers to think about.
Since the clan forum re-opened, there have been 68 threads created, counting this one.

Of the 68, Lemonhead and Carrobie have combined to create 27 of those.
About 40%. And those have mostly been useless drivel.
The thread subject line will tell the readership enough.

The total number of threads by all Metallica members ...[text shortened]... they may have,

2 characters polluting this forum with their drivel.
And nothing to offer !!

Robbie and lemondrop appear to enjoy the reactions they get when they post.

As long as they continue to get those reactions, they will continue to post, and people seem to enjoy reacting to them. Why people seem to want to feed and encourage them is beyond me, but if they are having fun, more power to them.

When the reactions stop, perhaps they will find something else that will entertain them.

I think BigDoggProblem has a java script or something that you can use to filter away threads from particular posters as long as you use a particular browser, but it's easy enough just to ignore them when they are on one of the usual banal subjects.

it's an open forum, and some people seem to enjoy getting into pointless arguments with them (as though someone's mind is actually going to change on the subject...), so I expect we'll see more of this for a while. It is what it is.

There is truth in what you say and very logical. The thing is you can only stand a fly buzzing around your head for so long before you go and get a fly swatter. One can only ignore it for so long before having to do something about it.

Would it be best if we stood by and let them tell lies? What would that solve? It is quite obvious that they do get off on the attention. Kind of like the debate forum, you have the same ones debating things which will never be agreed upon.

As you say: It is what is!

What would it solve? They would go away. Feed them, and they will stay.

If you want them to stop, then stop answering them. If you want them to continue, keep reacting to them-it's working like gangbusters so far, and it guarantees they will continue.

They need attention, and there are many here more than willing to play the role of enabler and give it to them. I have to assume that the responders enjoy the repartee, because they ensure its continuity.

Expressed antipathy feeds the beasts, and only apathy will stop them.

my goodness you bunch of ungrateful wretches! if it wasn't for me and lemondrop giving our time this place would be dead and here you are wanting to dull it down even further, good luck to you then!

They would not just go away, that is wishful thinking from where I sit.

I would sooner answer their lies then sit back say nothing, and people accept it as truth. It doesn't take long as you know for a rumour to become FACT!

There comes a time when you have to step up and not ignore what is being said or done. Perhaps some of us are just more aggressive than others.

The Clan forum is to express ideas, opinions, etc., rather you agree or disagree with them. I wish I could make it all go away, and the cheating points be taken away. For reasons unknown the admins allow the collusion between 3 teams to go on??

Actually you and lemondrip do provide a service to all of us.

I do like having someone to kick around the forum !!
Even if it is a couple of slow witted patsies like the two of you.

I do become bored from time to time
and take a break from here.

Even starting a couple of new challenges with
Anti-Metallica and Breaking Bad doesn't do anything any more.

Your collusion has become old stale news !!

We continue our competitive endeavors
with Wycombe symposium and other clans in the thick of things.

You can always start another idiotic thread
if you want to get me going.

Then I can come back and wipe the floor
with you clowns some more !!

😀😀😀😀

The morons keep creating new threads.
In order to continue their whining about Metallica.

They seem anxious to declare a victory of some sorts.

This could be a first !!
First time they hand out crying towels at a victory parade. 😀

glad you see it as a victory parade

Sir,
I take it you see yourself as an authority on morons? You keep calling Metallica members vulgar and name callers. What does that make you? I certainly will see no Victory Parade IF you finish first. Just 3 teams who fed one team so they could win, which I don't see as a legitimate win. It really is a sad state of affairs for this SITE!!!
Kindest Regards,
May you get all that life has to offer you,

Keep trying though.

No sir that is not it. You are just a really brave fellow behind you keyboard. I wonder if you would say some of the crap you say to folks face to face?

probably not
I'm a peaceful soul
now you who hide behind a facade

I've noticed a familiar theme of Metallica
they all want to fight
get physical
as soon as they lose on a forum
they want to kick ass
literally

You must be quite delusional my friend, Metallica don't fight or get physical. You, robbie and mctayto get quite mouthy like you want to fight physically, but like I said....face to face is a different story. Your soul might be peaceful, it should let your mouth know about it. 😛 We just kick ass on the chess board!
Kindest Regards,
May Jesus look after you,
