Yet Another Original Post about Too Many Other Posts about Something

Complaint about too many people posting about something I don't care about and think is discussed far too often recently.

Sentence expressing concern about wasting bandwidth on DU on something I don't care about.

Suggestion that DUers not post about something I don't care about.

I could care less about this OP, so let me write a few lines about how little I care about it.

Maybe two replies, no three in a thread I care nothing about.

MEMES!

I disagree with you, so therefore we must stay locked in mortal combat like those two dudes on Star Trek (Classic not TNG).

Thu Aug 11, 2016, 02:12 PM

That has something to do with something tangetically related to the original post, with a great deal of wordy concern and information largely taken from articles provided in link form: http://www.boredpanda.com/faces-of-foxes-roeselien-raimond/

Along with lots of excerpts from the article that are not as relevant as the poster thinks:

This para is about something else entirely, but is needed for a little bit of context for the linked article and its tenuous link to the original post.

This para has the small snip that the poster liked in it.

This para is only here because not including it would have made the excerpt end too abruptly


And a grave closing para that doesn't have as much to do with the linked article -OR- the original post as the poster thought it did.

That's a caricature of my own mug you're looking at. A pretty good likeness, too.

It was done for a bio of me on another website by an artist, so I shrank it down to avatar size.
