In response to UA's subtle dig at Teh Baba, a poll! Vote for the members you think contribute more to WF than UA
You forgot to add the option "Rosencranz" as being more valuable than Albert. But I guess you already knew the answer to that one.
I voted "teh baba" in the usual sense of having a "teh baba" option in a poll. Meaning "what a dumb question and I don't care enough to even think seriously about it."
I have four levels of poster. Top level: hubby and few others. Second level: Those posters I like to read the posts of, but I don't ever talk to in PM. Third level: Those that I tolerate. Fourth level: The people I usually ignore because they are beneath me. (This does not mean they are on ignore I just don't pay attention to them)
There are three types of posters for me: 1) Posters I treat semi-seriously for discussion 2) Posters who are at least entertaining, if not entirely bright. 3) Posters who are dull, and thus mostly ignored. I don't really talk to anyone in PMs except very occasionally. This isn't the place I go to for social interaction, ya know?
Hierarchy? Mine is too complicated to explain. But I voted Teh Baba because the poll is stupid and the thread is stupid. We need UA here.
Baba. My heirarchy is simple. There are those pathetic taint-lickers who delight in irritating people and stirring up melodrama, who I've begun completely ignoring, and then there is everyone else.
With Techman's untimely demise, Uncle Albert has been designated the Official Wordforge Curmudgeon in his place, so I'd say he's a VERY important poster.
I voted for teh baba simply because teh baba is more important than everyone else here, except perhaps Batboy. But Albert is definitely part of the personality of Wordforge. His recent "vacation" from the board was quite notable. It was almost like an eerie silence. As for hierarchies, mine is pretty simple. There's a handful of posters who are just total wastes of planetary oxygen supplies, and then there's everyone else.
Uncle Albert is pretty much the Archie Bunker of this board. Loud, obnoxious, convinced of his own rightness in all situations whatsoever, and completely harmless. I didn't see that as an option, so I declined to vote.
He has a hawt wife who's sweet, smart, very open minded, and fun loving. Yeah, you should feel sorry for him. He's living the life that you never will. Quitcherbitching!
