The Pledge to Not Read Rocky's Thread

[alf wiedersehen]

For some reason, I just keep clicking on that damned thing. No more.

I pledge, here and now, to never give him another count towards his 100,000 views goal.

Who will join me?




This also functions as a support group.

[drbeachboy]

I'm with you. I had enough of that stuff weeks ago.

[mtaber]

It's like joining AA...

[The Shift]

I want to be your brother in Rocklessness.


I am, however curious about many things, like, how can someone live on a lifetime's supply of Wheaties alone? Where else can I hope to find answers but in that accursed thread?

I will try to be strong.

I appreciate the support group element already. Thank you.

[mtaber]

Hey, maybe we should hire Rocky and Stan to keep us safe from Rocky's thread!!!

Is that a clown over there???

You and Andrew posted you were done with the thread then came back stronger than ever. Just sayin .....

......................

The thread has been exasperated by a reputation of insults. It's fine to have your say, I fully support that. But the comments have only amplipied  the quid pro  quo deluge.

[alf wiedersehen]

Welcome, one and all.

A few seconds back, I felt compelled to click on his thread. I didn't.

Thank you for allowing me to share.


P.S. John, the trick is to give your saliva enough time to break down the Wheaties into a liquefied form.

[Pretty Funky]

I'm a sucker for tabloid fodder so I will have to decline.

Gotta go......I think I just saw Elvis walk by.

As has been noted, it's like rubbernecking a car crash. It's why we need this support group.

[Rocky Raccoon]

I miss when I was the only Rocky on the forum. 

[Emily]

But didn't he say he'd go away when he reaches 100000? Shouldn't we get him there then hold him to it?
And, if you read this Adamghost, Rocky's first response to the Yeats was clear he thought you wrote it, so hopefully that makes sense of my response. He then edited his, as he's wont to do.

You will always be the only real Rocky.

[Lee Marshall]

I'm in...which means I'm out.  It ain't that difficult to stay out.  It' isn't magic.  Nothing's gonna suddenly make it worth my while to ever waste another second in there.

His posts to reads ratio is actually very low...compared to the other BIGGIES

[mtaber]

It seems that every time I look, the most recent post on Rocky's thread is from Rocky himself...

[chaki]

why do people on message boards feel the need to proclaim they are not going to do something? just don't do it. you're an adult.

For the same reason you felt like posting this, I guess.

[chaki]

that doesn't make sense. anyway it's a lame look to scream from the mountain tops that you are not going to read a thread anymore. just stop doing it. the people getting all riled up over rocky's posts look like bigger losers imo. stop engaging. stop posting. done.

[alf wiedersehen]

I don't feel like you're doing much supporting in this support group.

[mtaber]

We need a 12-step program...

[The Shift]

Maybe we'll get 100,000 views of this thread by Saturday, and then we can sell 'em to Rocky to add to his 100,000 and, well, then, erm…

[Emily]

I guess the purpose of a message board is to communicate and I guess some people want to communicate about not looking/having difficulties not looking at the Rocky thread. Like you wanted to communicate your thoughts about them communicating it. It's only pointless to the degree that some communication has no practical purpose beyond fulfilling human social instincts.

What's even going on in there, I'm too scared to look. /s

[18thofMay]

Could we not have a daily summary thread? Give one person the responsibility to report here to us?

Eh, I could care less what the dude thinks.  I was amused he thought I couldn't write.

Actually do think at this point we're dealing with some form of mental illness. So maybe it's not so cool to keep piling on.  Though like Carol Kaye he keeps begging for it.  I do like the fact that fewer and fewer people are responding to him, and the underlying insanity is becoming more and more obvious.
