18. "a well-reasoned and substance-based post" - when I do those, they sink like stones ("disappear")

Thu Apr 20, 2017, 09:12 AM

Apr 2017

But when I commit the occasional erratic, throwaway, off the top-o'-th'-head type, they attract the most personally insulting of my fellow members of the board and I seem to have the talent of drawing out from them the most vociferous emotions in their psyches.

And, quite contrary to my "well-reasoned and substance-based" posts, those flamefests *immediately* accrue hundreds - like, FIVE HUNDRED!1 - Views, meaning that the silent Viewers are being salaciously entertained to see me flayed raw.
