TA celebrities
Blik's thread somehow disappeared while I was out "partying", but when I read it earlier I was infuriated, and now I simply need to let off steem. I'm probably not going to get any more popular, but these are my views on the topic of a possible TA-elite among us.
1: I'm glad that Swamper has responded to popular demand and created the VIP-section...
2: ...but I'm saddened that some use it as a way of setting themselves above others.
3: However, when all is said and done, it's not very constructive to post an "I'm unhappy and leaving" thread in the chill out room. What good is that going to do us? Why not keep posting like you used to, and then ignoring people with too high an opinion of themselves?
4: Actually the elite has been with us for some time. I don't imagine that my posts are more interesting than those the rest of you post (judging from the replies I get they're possibly less interesting), but clearly some of us do think of themselves as a kind of celebrity. What's the point of posting threads like "I'm not here for the next month", "I'm back" if not for getting some quick sympathy from the rest of us? I hate to see a good subject being pushed out of the list because of useless threads praising one individual. If you really think that your absense/return is important to some, why not PM them?
Now, I'm not angry with Blik, as I can easily imagine how upset I would be if somebody devaluated my opinion because of my low post-count or some other trivial thing, but we've had so many of these personal threads lately, and I think it should stop. I signed up here because of the friendly atmosphere and the possibility to discuss my favourite subject with like-minded individuals - not to be a participant of Survivor or Big Brother.
