Io's Fury (OP) User ID: 682918 United States 05/19/2009 05:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you don't want attention, why would you post? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 538386The only non-attention whores just lurk :) Exactly, then there are the one's when things are not going their way on a topic or subject that like to point fingers and say "attention whore". Example. There is a thread I frequent where all these guys are posting song parodies, and smilies and doctored pics. Then I come and just bc my viewpoint isnt in line with theirs they trot out the tired "attention whore" line.I'm like dude,Im not the one doing song and dance numbers like Judy Garland and Ethel Merman desperate for approval.

Last Edited by 9teen.47™ on 05/19/2009 07:47 PM Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. Jer 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman]. STOCK UP NOW. You should have at least 6 months worth of basics for every member of your household. Stay away from crowds when trouble starts, do not forget water storage, tobacco is worth more than gold or silver, and be kind to hungry children. |
Io's Fury (OP) User ID: 682918 United States 05/19/2009 06:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I disagree. Many are just out to have a voice, and be heard by at least one other human. No grandstanding involved. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 672423I would put the number at about 60% of us GLP posters that are flagrant attention whores..not that there's anything wrong with it..lol But we all have a little attention whore in us. And you can be an attention whore without grandstanding. Isnt that what passive aggressiveness is all about. The Most Volcanically Active Body in The Solar System. Holler!!!! |
XLR8 User ID: 679933 United States 05/19/2009 06:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone who posts on this site is looking for attention, so you some of ya'll need to slow your roll with these "attention whore" taunts. Quoting: Io's FuryI am not even saying it is a bad thing to be. The posters who post article after article, sometimes with double digit threads a day, especially when they dont bother to check if someone has already posted on a topic, are attention whores. The posters who always post music and youtube threads are attention whores looking to show off the music or videos that "they" are into. The mods,and I am risking getting banned on this one,but the mods who pin every single one of their own threads are attention whores. Like I said,its not necessarily a bad thing,and I am one too. "Anyone who posts on this site is looking for attention" You're painting with a broad brush, Io. I disagree with your assumption that everyone's here to seek attention... and have to wonder how your arrived at that conclusion. The vast majority of GLPers are here to exchange and discuss information. Pay attention and you will soon see there are quite a few here who are learned conversationalists.

Anyone who posts is seeking attention to their viewpoint on a subject or seeking to get attention for a subject they care about at the very least. And again Im not saying its a bad thing.
