Best post ever

[nns]

Hi guys (and Ladies),
I was wondering which thread (except yours) you have enjoyed the most (the most interesting, the funniest, the most controversial and so on).

I am asking you that because since I am fairly new here, I haven’t been able to read all of them, yet.

This post was inspired by the one posted on 10-19-2003 by BLONDIE81, "HELP ASAP GEORGE ORWELL 1984" (you will able to see it on page 2). That's my top 10 all-in-one.
What I don’t understand is why none of you "old members" of this forum did not bother to reply and help that little, helpless creature. Shame on you, all of you!

cheers,
nns

Hi NNS, welcome. Intersting topic, but do you refer to post related to Orwell only or to gerenal post..if you mean the later then i suppose you posted in the wrong sub-section

Shame on me..?!

Hi Subterranean
When I did post the thread I was actually referring to the Orwell related topics. However, I would not mind getting any of your preferences, regardless of the section.

As for the shame thing, that was just a joke of course. In any case you have no reason to feel ashamed of anything: after all I see you only joined the club on Dec 2003; under scrutiny are those who did join before October 19 2003, and left Blondie81 without a single answer. And that must have hurt (what I suppose it's a) her, because she never posted again. Never.
Which, you'd agree with me, is a shame.
By the way, did you go back to read her single (and precious) post?

Actually, lots of people come here with blatant, or not so, questions for `help' and they often go unanswered, in all parts of the forum not just this one.

I'm not here to do anyone's homework and yeah it's too bad some people never come back and post again, but that's the way it goes around here.

No specific topic springs to mind as a favourite, it's kinda quiet around here these days, or I'm just not seeing a lot of topics I like.

True Den, they started a post by saying " anyone read A..", "oh i love this book, what do you think of it..", or "let's discuss B and share us your opinion..". People may evetually posted their opinions, but the thread starters themselves never gave thiers..

and left Blondie81 without a single answer. And that must have hurt (what I suppose it's a) her, because she never posted again. Never. Which, you'd agree with me, is a shame.

Well didnt you read the thread title? Isn't obvious about her intention with the thread she/he started?

[crisaor]

Some of the threads in this board derived in interesting and somewhat heated discussions, and they got closed and/or erased. I'd say one of those.

Actually I don't mind helping people sometimes, I've gotten PM's from people out of the blue asking for help. Just depends on what kind of mood I'm in I guess ... teehee. And of course if it's something I know a lot about or am interested in that helps too. I read 1984 like, years ago! so it's not something I'm very interested in anymore.

I don't mind helping seriouse people, or people who have been at this forum for a while.

But the ol' post twice,
"help me, I don't want to do my work, someone else do it for me... post" kinda gets eratating, since there are atleast one of those per day,.

Maybe I am just a cold hearted ***. but we all have our hobbies.

anywho, I don't really feel bad about not helping. I came here to escape school and discuss, not do other peoples work.

Ex. helpmeplease1233254365457325 sais: I need help my teacher is mean, he makes me think. I hate doing that. thinking is for people who can think... please help me do my hwk eversomuch, I would be so superduper happy, thnks -^^-"

I think that about sums up my rant... time to inhale air and start breathing again.

[amuse]

or, thinking is for people who are motivated to do so.

but seriously. i liked when vbm, for example, asked for help. she was prepared to the nth.

Hi fellow users,
this thread has taken a turn I wasn't expecting. But that's my fault! When I gave the example of the thread posted by Blondie81 I was only kidding. Her question was so (may I say it?) stupid - I mean, she did not understand one single thing of the book - that I found it quite funny. When I asked why nobody helped her out, I was being ironic, or at least trying to be. Unsuccesfully it seems. No offense, but I think only brain surgery could have helped her. And that's maybe.

Seriously now. I will give you a serious example of what I was originally looking for: take for instance the thread posted by TotalNutso on 10-11-2003 "The significance of colours in 1984". I found the discussion that followed very interesting because it is something I had never considered before, and so ...I have learned something.

That's the kind of things I was asking you to report under this sub-sub-section. Thank you for your inputs.

Hi NNS, I dont know which post about Orwell is the best. I have to go thru all those posts in Animal Farm, 1984 etc threads to be able to vote for one . But I mostly love the discussion in the Animal Farm thread

[Stanislaw]

You mean that kind of random repeatadly hijacked one?

[subterranean]

errr...perhaps

[Stanislaw]

of course, that is a pretty good one!

Don't worry I'm here
