Unlike LoneKiller (fantastic name for someone who considers everyone a friend from the get-go, by the way) I view most people as initially grey and this slides slowly into the black until they single me out, I guess. Plenty of people ignore me, which doesn't bother me enough to suddenly attack them with an axe etc, but it does largely let me ignore them. Or something. I DON'T KNOW.
Anyway, from what I've seen here, no one expresses their feelings about others without wrapping it in a perception filter first - I.E you'll see a couple of threads where people are saying they'll leave and placing a trail of breadcrumbs about why, hoping someone will follow. So don't worry I guess, since what I'm trying to say is ultimately no one cares. I don't think anyone here is materialistic enough to care about post count, though maybe one or two like to think of it as a personal score, I dunno. That's about the only thing I can think of that could make you look like you were "tryharding" by spamming every thread you can to raise your post count.
Hell, the only other thing I can think of that I sometimes do wonder what people will think, is by reviving old, dying threads when bored and lurking. I see a thread no one has posted in for like a year (lol) and then I go ahead and post my rather pointless opinion..suddenly it's there in the list of recent activity and I like to think it sits there mocking everyone, being annoying. Soon gets buried though.
Anyway not seen many of your posts, but I can't see there's anything wrong with posting friendly stuff unless it comes across as sappy and a blatently obvious post to make yourself look good - many people would assume that of LoneKillers above post, since generally it's a sappy, friendly post built from assumptions and not facts, but generally, LoneKiller is pretty much genuine and friendly.
Also I get lost very quickly, and now I don't even know where I was planning on taking this when I started writing it.
Basically, you can't control peoples opinions, so don't try. Stick your nose everywhere - if people don't like it, so what? It's a forum, a PUBLIC BOARD so long as you don't break the rules, what you post is never wrong.
It might get you hated, shunned, and talked about behind your back, but IT'S NEVER WRONG. It's wrong to put on false personalities in the hope people will like you. It's wrong to lie about yourself and claim things that aren't true. Most people won't ever find out - but it does more harm to you than us, I guess.
WHOA WHERE THE HELL AM I. I've completely lost track now, derailed, even.
Do you like shellfish?
