I suddenly realized I don't know what I'm known for around here. What am I known for around here? Am I known? Oh God! No one knows me! *spiraling circle of doom*

So, yeah, what do you think you're known for? I have the feeling I'm known for just being here...:p

Never heard of you. Heh...let me think, aren't you a libertarian or something? People with very different beliefs to mine tend to stick in my mind. You've never been a total asshole to other posters as far as I'm aware, so I don't remember you from any memorable flame-exchanges. So thats just about all I have.

I think I'm probably known, if at all, for being hopeless at debates (despite invariably being right) and instead trying to turn any serious discussion into a bad-pun thread or respond to those I disagree with a sarcastic blast of hostility without addressing any of the points they've actually made.

Seriously, a lolcat duel WILL get this thread shut down as spam. (As if it weren't before.)

Think again.

So close... I mean, Yes Your Modliness.:D

I've never seen that. I noticed WMU's missing n on the day he joined, but I've never seen that one. Wow.

Must be a generational thing, kids these days just leave letters out willy-nilly. Why back when I was a boy, we had to work hard to even get a single letter. I worked 50 hours a week down a coal mine just so I could afford to write a letter to my old mother. Did I mention I had to walk 20 miles to the mine each day, both ways uphill....

I suddenly realized I don't know what I'm known for around here.
Couldn't you have 'realised' something that didn't revolve around you? -_-
What am I known for around here?

NSG's resident Lib Dem, by any who wonder into the British politics threads. NSG Fantasy Football Champion (I'm milking that forever:p). In general, not known at all I suspect. I lack a certain zanyness I think.

I'll pay that. I was going to put in a serious post on the complaints about "attention whoring", but you've got the point across better, faster and funnier.

However, since I've gone through the unwonted mental exercise of thinking about this, I'm not gonna waste it. Herewith:

This is a forum that encourages some degree of community among its members. It goes to the extent of having a stickied "about the posters" thread.

But on an internet forum, to many readers, a person's physical image isn't "them". We build up pictures of people from what they say. So, for example, there are a couple of people who post often in religious threads whom I "see" as, respectively, a slick Jesuit priest and the scruffy rabbi from the crime novel series On Friday, the Rabbi (whatevered). Despite the fact that neither claims religious office (and I don't know their gender or religion, if any).

It's not particularly attention-whorish that people want to know what their "picture' is in others' minds. I think that kind of background knowledge can even help the forum run more smoothly; it underlines that it's a person you're talking to, not a computer.

I'm just very, very glad I began building up my images of others before everyone got avatars.

I'm that guy. You know, the one that everybody "knows" but isn't really friends with. :pHey!

True, that. I guess it depends on Mandy and a few other people ...
Very rarely you are even another person entirely.Very rarely am i myself entirely. Natch.
