The Great Things Posted On Social Media II thread is a no chat thread, however this rule has been broken multiple times and looks like it won’t stop being broken any time soon.
Instead of derailing that thread, please use this thread to link to posts from the original and chat here as much as you like.
I genuinely don’t mind @iamwiggy posting whatever he thinks is great in the GTPOSM thread. He thinks they’re great. Many will not. If he was trolling, it’d be a different matter, but he’s not (or he’s very good at it).
reckon he started off not trolling but obviously now deliberately posts total pish. thrives off the ZOMG WIGGY banter that everyone apparently can’t get enough of
I’m with japes on this that to begin with he was, but then it became meta, and now he’s posting objectively terrible things because haha he’s being epic, and a bunch of people are egging him on, and it’s grown into its own cult thing which is overbearing for those that don’t appreciate it. And each time we have this back and forth where someone goes shouldn’t this go into another thread, and someone else goes noooo it’s epic man, grow a sense of humour and on and on it goes. My two bob is that it should go into the other thread specifically set aside for it.
As for this I’m sort of with @Parsefone in that wiggy seems to have gone into MPBH mode. I don’t want him to stop posting because it can be fun to see the occasional clanger but he needs to rein it in a bit.
Equally, we need to reserve our chat for useful stuff: ‘great things’ has mostly been a divisive thread and frankly that’s fine.
I’d rather 5 posts by wiggy than the usual cynical auto-grump about basically anything in there not being amusing. Like either you have amusing content to put in there or else you have nothing and we can only conclude you actually don’t find anything funny.
