I don't have to prove anything to you & I've participated in plenty of threads in GD and I've been at this site for a long time. Check my profile.
For example, recently

Today? Well, no, but so what?
I find it gets harder and harder around here to sort out the wheat from the chaff, thus my impatience and my current response.
Aside from that, I stand by my original point.
This kind of stuff belongs in the lounge.
If I'm pissing on the thread it's because the thread is already full of piss and vinegar.
I'm certainly not lowering the level of discourse that is already very prevalent in this thread.
It's like a bunch of gossips sitting on a park bench or at the beauty parlor.
