Thread: What's with TEE

  1. #1

    Default What's with TEE

    Is it just me or does there seem to be loads of threads springing up with a title and then a one liner in the text? The worst are TEE and discuss and the word that springs to mind is SPAM.

    I think it started with "What are you listening to right now" which at least was quite interesting but it seems to have gone downhill from there, it even seems to have spread to the backroom.

    Anyway I'll leave the matter in B's capable hands.

    Yeah. Those and the:

    Link To News Article
    I am appalled.


    threads. Or where a massive 9 page news article is printed out with no gisting at all.
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    It does seem... thin, to just post TEE. If you're going to open a thread, at least say something. The whole point is to register an opinion, not just cast your line in the forum and see how many posts your thread gets.

    If you've got nothing to say, don't open a thread.

    TEE means that the title explains everything. Most of the time anything said is jjust a re-hash of the title.

    "We were not born into this world to be happy, but to do our duty." Bismarck
    "You can't be a successful Dictator and design women's underclothing. One or the other. Not both." The Right Hon. Bertram Wilberforce Wooster
    "Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication" - Lord Byron
    "Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison." - C. S. Lewis

    Well said big man!
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
