closed thread addiction

[Middle Earther]

I'm am an addict. I must admit it openly and publicly. When I see a thread has been closed I MUST READ IT COMPLETELY. I cannot control myself. I must see what weird behavior resulted in the closing of the thread.

I feel that this is a new disease. Should I consider a 12 step progam? How do I wean myself off?

SOMEBODY HELP ME!! Does anybody else share this addiction?

It's kind of like driving by an automobile accident ... you don't want to look but you just have to....

 

[K'Ehleyr]

Yes. For it is deeply ingrained within us to want to know why. And to watch at a distance and to judge and raise an eyebrow and go 'Ohhh' lol

 

[Kirk's_Tights]

No because I'm not nosey.


OOOOOOOHHHHH SNAP CRACKLE POP.

I reads 'em. I like to see the fail develop. Fun.

I *only* ever read closed threads.





So I suppose this thread will close too for some strange, deviant reason?

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I'll look at the last page and why it was closed. If i think it was interesting, i'll read the whole thread.

That's what I do -and then I go off to MA to see if there's a second episode

Hi, my name is trampledamage and I too always read the last page of a closed thread.

Dammit, I think you jinxed this thread!!!!!

 

[Guartho]

Yep.. I skip to the end and, if interested, work backwards to learn the full extent of the FAIL.

 

[K'Ehleyr]

Ok, then can someone please close my non-starter thread so at least it gets some attention!
Thank you

I do the exact same thing.

 

[The Sneeze Police]

Next to MA, I love a good closed thread-thread. Then I realize that all of the sniping and explaining is more than my mind can wrap around and I slink back to the first open thread that I can find where the dialogue is more intelligible.

And me too - what is wrong with us??

 

[StolenThunder]

The absolute wrecks are the best. i tried to encourage them when I was on staff.

Sort of. If it's a very long thread - especially in TNZ, bonus points for religion and/or evolution threads - I'll be drawn in inexorably by the massive fail that simply must be contained within.

 

[RJDiogenes]

So would the OP be happier with this Thread open or closed?

 

[ITL]

^ Before the closing comes the crash and burn. Only then do we get our fix of fail. Then we say "Ooooh...." in a shaky voice like the perverted tarts that we are.

Or something.

I thought i was the only one glad to see i am not alone.
