Typical posts on ISH

great post

...and it's not even close

I don't see a problem with someone making a list if the thread is just asking favorite. Actually, I find it a bit odd that you find it amusing. The person making a list isn't being lazy like the other slackers. [COLOR="White"]Nobody likes a slacker, hateraid [/COLOR]

Not complaining about the effort. But the definition of favorite(no plural) is your top choice whereas someone is compelled to run off a list.
The only reason I see it is to take the credit on being the first person to post that response. That is pretty amusing.

yeah i try to stick by my absolute favorites. but i guess the thread would go nowhere if people didn't end up posting more choices. although it's debatable if a simple list thread should go anywhere in the first place.

we da bess

..what, why are you lookin at me like that?

[Jackass18]

Slacker. It's not about wanting credit for being the first to post a certain response. That's silly. As we all know, lists >>>>> singular answers. Also, some people have trouble picking out 1 favorite so they give multiple answers, and a list is just an extension of that. Sometimes making a list is actually easier than trying to pick out 1 single thing as the lone favorite. Plus, favorites change so someone might include others that might be there at a different time, so that's another reason why lists are superior. [COLOR="White"]But I'm just rambling[/COLOR]

I take it you're a list maker

Oh, God no, I hate lists. Just kidding, I like lists, but only if I'm getting credit for being the first person to post that response. Wait, no, who gives a shit about getting credit for that? If I make a list, then it's for other reasons (can't decide on a favorite, I want other things to get some love, just to amuse you, I have time to waste, it's a subject I like and 1 measly answer won't suffice, etc...)

Lol, ouch. I didn't think you'd take it so personally. I was just trying to get a laugh.
I'm not saying EVERY poster is under that category. Of course there are going to be some who are posting a list for reasons you mentioned. But I'd say the majority falls under the "in before" category.
I bet after most post the list, they invest in the thread and lock into it, checking and rechecking to see if they've been noticed.
But you're right, who gives a shyt? I don't. It was merely an observation.

[Bosnian Sajo]

you mad: if ever losing in an argument, posters/trolls tend to say this.

Yeah, he would always make a list - then the next day go back into the same thread, edit his post and make the list even bigger. Reminds me of the kid in the candy store effect.

[B-Low]

I just find it hilarious that guys like sbw19 and Veilside23 popped into his head before Insidehoops did.

There is no Jordan-overhype-syndrome he really was the GOAT.

Stop getting irked at that...

Best center? Jordan

Best 7 footer? Jordan

Best MLB player?

Best golfer?
