Its interesting when you look at threads like these where the cow camps out in their own thread. Here we have
@Ketchup' and he's basically engaged in shitposting with you guys. No one is too enraged or acting like too much of an A-Log. The thread isn't a horrible reflection on anyone really. Its shit in terms of content but you guys are entertained and aren't really embarrassing yourselves. The discussion could branch out more, but from what I see
@Ketchup' not being an inflamed douchebag like
@Mikemikev or some sort of abrasive car crash like
@Autphag contributes to this thread not being total shit.
A thread like
@Brad Watson_Miami is a thread where the users have done just about everything in their power to turn it into an embarrassing shitshow.
@voiceguy did a few funny things but he extensively embarrassed himself. Brad can be funny if you aren't ruining it for everyone else. A lot of people have made that thread unusable and boring.
Tommy Tooter is a thread I feel is the best one where a cow comes to town. I feel that's because the thread doesn't depend on his presence for content. He has content near every day and always has some sort of crazy drama. People shitpost at him and he goes on long screeds, but the thread can and has been healthy even when he went absent.
It seems that there are a few keys to there being a good thread where the cow shows up. One, the cow not being an idiot who responds to anything because we have A LOT of attention whores here and they will probably spend decades shouting PEDOPHILE at a cow if it gets the cow to say "i'm not a pedophile". Another is the users not spastically screeching things to get ANY response.
@Marjan Šiklić is an example where our users did that. and last, there being current content. If it is a constant flow of new info pissing the cow off then the cow is engaged in a weird sort of multi-dimensional trolling where their past is coming back to troll them and they are riling themselves up by showing up. Their words are wrecking them.
tl;dr if you guys want
@Ketchup' its cool and the thread isn't a total fail so its all cool.
I am just gonna put up another poll for a week, he will prob be voted to stay but whatever. Cheers!
