I only know what ipecac is from a movie I saw a few years ago..for the life of me I can't remember the name....Heather Matarazzo was in it..and she would take Ipecac..erm...after meals...dammit...now I gotta go to IMDB.

Should I? or should I keep trying to remember? OR should I make a poll about it?? Oh I'm so confused.

Ok...nevermind, crisis averted

It was a movie called Strike...that is where I learned of Ipecac.

Ethan, you know I've defended you many times on here and I don't think anyone deserves to be picked on (well, maybe certain conservative politicians and right-wing religious zealots, however that's a different story), but some of the other Ledgies have good points.
Maybe not presented in the best ways -- but good points nonetheless.

So may I offer a bit of advice?
Your enthusiasm is a great thing. You seem to throw yourself into things wholeheartedly, and that's very admirable.
But, more often than not, the old adage is true... "less is more."

Posting here shouldn't be a popularity contest... who's started the most threads... whose threads have the most views or replies... etc.
You want to strive for quality over quantity.

If one of your threads dies out, let it be. It happens. Not every thread that every Ledgie has started, can stay active for all eternity.
If you have something new or noteworthy to add to a topic, then, by all means, revive the thread. That's definitely preferable to starting a brand new thread for a topic that's already been, or is currently being, discussed.

And it's ok to ask for advice (whether it be career advice, love advice, or so on), but it's better to limit the amount of similarly-themed topics (three different threads about Sidney Sheldon, or wanting to be a novelist, for example).
We all enjoy a little bit of attention from time to time, but if you seek it out too frequently or too aggressively, eventually you get the opposite result, and people stop paying attention to you all together. Or they begin to lash out at you.

Anyway, I offer this advice sincerely. I'm not trying to quell your enthusiasm or asking you to change your personality.

So please give it some serious thought. It'll make your visits here... and everyone else's visits here... more enjoyable.

(Note to everyone else... can we please avoid the taunting and mocking? Not only is it against the Ledge guidelines, but it's also an awful way to treat someone. As "Pollyanna" as I know that sounds.)

I know you always have the best of intentions and are forever striving to be the peacekeeper (excuse the pun), but honestly you're wasting your time with this one. Many people have tried to get through to him using rational explanations and giving similar advice without any success. I doubt he's ever going to change and he will go on being a constant source of aggravation to some and a running joke to others. It's this exact behavior that has caused him to be considered a troll elsewhere on the web.

Leopards don't change their spots, even when rationally advised that they should.

Thanks, I definately know what you are talkign about, but I really don't understand why people think I "want to start the most threads" or "want super popular threads." This is not true...........

But yeah, I will definately try to "tone it down" and not start so many threads on the same topic. Thanks for the advice Brian.

I'm going to hit the hay now, so you guys have an awesome evening.

drop the cutsie stuff. please. the truth is, you've been asked nicely to tone it down in the past and haven't. and don't pretend that you don't know what people are talking about when they say you strive to have the longest, most popular threads. come on.
