[Closed] Should we have a special tag for "The Big Hitters"?

this thread contains cocks ?

The tag "TJ Argues" appears with alarming regularity......

or just a wee symbol of said bird?

Silhouette of bombers, perhaps? Surely some IT whizz could knock one up?

The tag "TJ Argues" could basically be applied to any thread he posts on and maybe removed for the odd exception that proves the rule. Shame really.

Mind you, the same could be said for others too...

"pathological arguist" is my suggestion for the tag.

Or a step further, we could add the tag "pathological arguist = <insert name here> and then have competitions to see who's the most incapable of normal human interaction by the size of their tag in the tag cloud 🙂

Mind you, my suggestion breaks the rules so I suggest you don't follow it 🙁 http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/tags-the-rules

Monkey tennis?

A bit like masochists with their 'safe' word ie: 'Armageddon'

you know this for a fact? 😯

I like to try and spot those threads before opening them, then see if I'm right. Eg. today there is a thread called 'petrol prices' that has got to 7 pages. I bet quite most of us could summarise that thread before even reading it.

Being of a nervous disposition, Id want a safe word that was no longer than one syllable long and could be screamed from the wrong side of a ball-gag.

Its possible this also applies to a forum tag.

I checked.

You're right.

😆

No sound (in an open plan office), but i think this is the one with a safe word. I could be wrong. Whatever.

"TJ Argues"

checks and balances.

this very thread stands a good chance i would say

I shall keep on driving past your junction on my trips up and down the M5.

Like Geddafugoffme? But shorter.

plus ca change

is "big hitter" some sort of rhyming slang?

big hitlers more like

GODWIN ALERT!

[i]*looks at the list of names posting on this thread*[/i]

Hmmm.. all names that post frequently enough that I recognise them and have a rough idea of their online personas. No sign of any non-regulars.

Aren't you (we) all "big hitters"?

i already have one 😕

I always assumed binners was a big hitter...well he is in my world.

grahamS ? is he new?

I misread the title as 'Big Hitlers'. But then again...

If you haven't convinced someone after making - say - 5 posts in a thread, you should reconsider whether you are wasting your time.

Saying the same thing again and again with increasing emphasis and decreasing receptiveness to others' views is boring and boorish and changes nothing.

that'll be my lesson / blindspot then 😳

*looks at the list of names posting on this thread*

Also the the absence of a few who are probably sitting on their hands trying to resist posting 😀

Stoatsbrother, you may have fixed STW with that post...

* applause *

Generally I ignore anything with more than 3 pages unless it's a picture thread as it'll have turned into a "I'm more right than you!" affair.

If I do read on and certain names start appearing I just ignore it.
Easy peasy!

i don't think the serial egotists have any intention of convincing anyone of anything except to prove their own magnificence to themselves.

trailmonkey - for me is definitely about trying to convince people or often to answer points that people have made in response to my posts

Could you elaborate?

Binners, we do this thread every week, you've started it this time so I feel confident I can blame you.

I don't even know who 'they' are, but I'd happily have my name prefixed with 'BS'... or better 'It's'.

Could you elaborate?

No!

;0)

I misread the OP as Bing Hitler.

"cock at work"*

*DO NOT Google this at work or if your nan's watching.

That's a good rule.

Every interesting discussion can have all the salient points presented, then discussed, and an amicable and mutually acceptable resolution reached within 100 posts.

Let's start with the Israel/Palestine situation...

I think your setting your sights a bit too high there Captain.
Some questions are just unanswerable.

😆

Fixed it for you.

[i]Idiots[/i], the lot of you. 😐

Elf - everything is idiot-proof until they give you a sufficiently talented idiot...

What on earth would Elf be doing with a sufficiently talented idiot and what sort of talent are we talking about here? Ball gags?

i class binners as a big hitter, but then again i have 2 different mental lists... the good guys: who use the forum for good and who's idea of fun isnt at the expense of anyone other than hora.... and the bad guys: who i think most people think of when they hear the term 'big hitters'

is 'movers and shakers' not a more appropriate term?

*moves and shakes*

😀

philconsequence - maybe we need little Sith and Jedi icons beside each thread to say who has turned up. Maybe the creator of the killfile code has a way of doing it

my concern about the term 'movers and shakers' is it suggests a level of exercise that might be dangerous for most forum users without a gradual build up

Bugger - that's me hip gone!

How about Roobarbs (the good guys) and Custards (the ####s)?

[img] [/img]

I like Custard. 😳

B'mitch! i'm having an exciting day at work, MOJ/police/commissioning managers in sexy trouser suits flirting with me. i know that doesnt help your hip, but i needed to tell somebody.

Custards (the ####s)?

A female friend of mine coined the term Custard some years ago, to describe an ex of hers (Not me, I hasten to add) who was half ba5tard and half cu......

Mitch - who's buggered your hip?

I'm holding TJ responsible yeti - he gets the blame for everything else, so once more isnt going to affect him 😀 . Phil - touch them! You know you want to, and it can only enhance your professionalism.

*Adds TJ to real-life KillFile*

it was difficult not to touch them, lady commissioner spent about 2 hours longer than she was meant to with me.... then again so did the man commissioner from the same team when he came to visit. He rides bikes though and was impressed at my brush handling skills when he arrived in the car-park

[b]280[/b] pages of nothing according to your profile... 😯 😳 8)

I'm merely a minow rather than a big hitter around here so someone spell it out for me. These 'big hitters' who make others reluctant to post on certain topics, you are talking about Elfinsafety and Tandem Jeremy? Am I wrong? Are there others?

Just want to know who not to upset, wouldn't want to get in trouble 😉

I haven't got the words......

I wonder what will happen when this thread hits 3 pages? Will everyone suddenly stop posting?

Elfinsafety - Member
I'm an idiot!

And so is my wife.

Oh no hang on, I jolly well have not got a wife...

Elfinsafety - Member
Idiots, the lot of you.

To summarise, EVERYONE'S an idiot then? 😕

Yes.

Even though recently I've been rather prolific with my posts and a want to add to posts, I'd rather see myself as a contributor rahter than detractor, heyho.

But I've found an image that could be used to ID said "big hitters", it represents someone with far too much time on thier hands..

[img] [/img]

"Fanny alert" would be a good one in my opinion.

[img] [/img]

you can tell from the news every morning what's going to be argued about on here later, or it will be about

Politics
Cars
Helmets

those three I pretty much just avoid.

Have a post count+rating, i.e. over 9000 posts = STW Overlord?

Ha, ha!

Aye, fanny is not a term of endearment by any means...

I hate to think how many posts I have made over the years. I was top poster quite a few times. 🙂
Bikes rock!

Loving the taggage! 🙂

this makes me sad
