"Opinion about" (with no item included in title)

"You wont believe this..."

And about 50 other variations of reddit / twatter / Facespace click bate subject lines - It goes on and on lately...

Oh, I'm sure your thread will BLOW OUR MINDS, since THE INDUSTRY DOESN'T WANT US TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

I peruse gun broker pretty often looking at this and that. They seem to be the worlds worst at the "One simple Trick" with the vague picture with the red circle indicating whatever the trick is supposed to be.

I guess people fall for it. If they didn't, you wouldn't see them in such a heavy concentration.

Two faux pas if you count starting a thread you have no interest in following, especially when the first response is the forum owner scolding you and telling you to fix it.

I just had to come in here to vent out a laugh.

Apparently, someone wasn't up to snuff in noticing who a certain member is. LOL



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

2-1/2 years, over a thousand posts, and still doesn't know the lay of the land?

"Einstein" indeed.

As for click-bait threads: I don't click on 'em. Problem solved.

Have You Noticed:

Get your thread locked with this ridiculously easy trick.

See what forum members are doing on the (whatever the other) coast.

See what everyone already knows and you don't!

You wont believe what happens next! Click to see more! Take the bait! Go! Go! Go!

Ummm. No.

Yes, thank you! I get that we all hopefully like guns, but my choice of underwear is probably going to be different than yours. You do NOT need my advice on this.
