You may suffer from OCD.
Consult your doctor.
How is this constructive in answering my question or adding anything to the topic. Seems like a cheap attempt at a joke about a medical condition I am sure you are unqualified to give. I asked this question this afternoon on a day that is generally considered to be an announcement for a company with which this message board is dedicated to. I didn't ask it at 1:30am and then again 8 times through the day; I have not asked it since.
Of course, if your joke was even somewhat funny or even borderline original, it wouldn't bother me. Please try harder next time.
When I first started writing here I was startled at the responses people gave. I always treat any form of written communication as a letter and not conversation, and that remains true in my emails to friends and posts here. I have since had to learn that I can simply not let any response startle or upset me.
I will say that I have noticed godardslave's previous posts. I have never been struck with a feeling that (s)he is being cruel. I must say that it took me quite a while to catch on to what is a joke and what is just plain cruel, however I immediately thought godadslave was just offering an almost generic answer that could apply to almost all of us here. Many of us are CC obsessed to a point that other's would find quite ridiculous.
I only really enter this conversation because I wrote a rather long piece in the "Fake Covers" thread (where evidently it is practically verboten to even write more that a two word not-too-pithy comment regarding a cover) and was yet again mostly ignored. When a comment was made, it was basically telling me to fuck off. It doesn't bother me anymore because I will continue to write more that one sentence posts and not expect any feedback at all. I enjoy writing and at least one of the positive attributes of this site is that it is a great training ground to learn to get and toughen a hard shell in response to the cruel, cruel public!
