Do people start threads with titles similar to existing threads for dramatic effect?

[probinson]

Generally speaking, that is.

 

[Shepherd1]

Lol.

 

[imperfectchristian]

I would say yes. I know I do!

 

[Andy S. Wright]

Is the pope Catholic in the woods?

 

[he4rty]

Maybe Sometimes.

But when a thread is good and raises other questions then its better to start a new thread with said question than to side track the original one.

 

[nephilimiyr]

Generally speaking, that is.

I don't know but saying "generally speaking" seems to be a new fad around here though. Bummer, just when I was warming up to "do they lack discernment".

[visionary]

Does this mean you are going to re-word the question and start a new thread?

Hey, Paul went into athens, where drama was common, and used their sayings.

Paul Addresses the Areopagus

Acts 17:22 So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,[c]


The we got Paul quoting their prophets about the Cretans in Titus 1, so when in Athens, do as the Athenians do!

Yes Probinson I believe you hit the nail on the head..Reminds me of this scripture..3John 1:9

 

[probinson]

So I logged on and saw in my User CP that I started a thread (which was news to me), and then I realized I posted this almost 3 years ago.

I suppose there really is nothing new under the sun...

In the same vein as this topic, I ran across an interesting definition on NetLingo the other day that I believe is apropos;

Tactical Trolls: This is where the troller takes the game more seriously, creates a credible persona to gain confidence of others, and provokes strife in a subtle and invidious way.

Yup...They usually get booted from boards eventually...But they come back with another name and act all nicey nice for a bit to continue their preeminence..they argue and argue, harass others until their ego is babied.

Really? Even though you could've simply made a thread or post conveying the same thought?

Is there anything I do that you don't have an issue with?

Just saying .........

I don't know what You're talking about. I know I don't have any issues with you and don't remember any issues I might have had in the past with you. Given your response though I'm more than sure you believe I have given you a hard time about things you've writen that have been unwarranted. For that I'm truely sorry and apologize, and I truely mean that.

Concerning your bump, I just don't understand why you would need a thread Probinson made 3 years ago to say something that could be just as easily said by you? And all of what he said was in the thread title, he really didn't even have an OP. I even might've had the longest post in the thread at a whole 2 sentences. I suspect you did this just for fun, and in which, I just don't get it.
