What does an internet forum member need to have to be a success, say a big hitter?? apart from a computer, what key ingredients?

Electricity

too much time on their hands? 😉

an unwaiverable belief that your’s is the only opinion that matters.

+1

Humility and a desire to ask bone questions.

Residence in a capital city.

knowledge that is far less than their resilience/beligerence.
Epoxy and carbon sheets 😛

Never noticed that drac

grit.. spit.. and a head full of… stuff

Who’s from Swansea?

The ninja like ability to have a thread deleted before anyone even saw it

Egocentricity – there’s a shed load on here. 😉

yoghurt and knitting needles

say a big hitter??

The stamina and bloody mindedness to go on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on without once respecting other people or facts.

What do you think cynic-al? Do you aspire to this? 😉

I’m already there cg.

In your dreams sweetheart. 😉

Quantity rather than quality seems to be the key ingredient of a “big hitter” so I’d say a non too exacting job and a lack of real friends.

Loneliness and unemployment?

To be a member???

Wiki and an unassailable belief that everything written there-in is fact.

But we’re all members?

cynic-al – there’s plenty of us having a rubbish time but the important thing is to actually be comfortable with yourself. We’re not in a perfect world, not even the ‘big hitters’ are but do not judge yourself too harshly.

I think it is vital to genuinely believe that internet forums are in some way important, and that winning an argument on one will actually affect the course of history.

I’m just having fun cg, I an being myself and it’s a joke 😀 although I was a bit hurt when you said I wasn’t a big hitter 🙁

Thanks for your concern tho.

The belief that being a “big hitter” on an internet forum actually matters.

al – women’s intuition, can’t help it! Who came up with the term ‘big hitter’ anyway?

Frustration

Well sorry but on this occasion your WI needs re calibration!

I think I brought the term to the forum.

It amuses me that anyone might take it seriously or think that I do.

A hyphen in your name?

Personal emnity with another “big hitter”. Thus they only come in pairs.

no bikes

Would it be rude to draw attention to the number of times this is mentioned?
Who are you trying to convince?

The ninja like ability to have a thread deleted before anyone even saw it

ooh, ooh, Mr. Peevley!

My very first day here was to post a thread that was deleted so quickly I thought I’d imagined doing so. I was already halfway through dialling a psychotherapist when my email pinged informing me my thread had been ‘done’ a month earlier, was distasteful and stuff like that wasn’t welcome here.

I don’t consider myself a hitter of any sort so your assessment process may be slightly flawed…

A fanatical devotion to the pope?
