Thanks for stopping by chief.
I look at my stats and I don't think I'm a lurker... and then I sometimes see a topic and just go "fuck it" and don't post.
I'M SO CONFLICTED!

this guy speaks for me too.NytFantom said:I never actually have much to say that is worthwhile
I have to say this is a very interesting trade to just lurk. And I am only posting to show i am not a lurker but to be honest there is nothing i can say of new to contribute for this discussion that I can remember right now. So probably I should have just lurked.
What is wrong with being a Lurker anyway? It's not like we are Troll:ing, Flame:ing, or Rage:ing at anyone, so where is the harm in being a Lurker I ask you (all included)?
Sure, it might not be all that interesting, but to me it comes down to a question of, voicing redundant opinions, or agreeing with previous posters. I mean, what is the point, and where is the point in discussing something, if my particular side of the reasoning already have been made?
To raise my posting counter?
To gain popularity with individuals I may never meet, and most probably don't have that much in common with in real life?
To try and win a discussion on the internet? (hardiharharhar)
I mostly read, because I have a tendency to go off-topic on whatever it is the topic is about, and I tend to (OMG, walls of text) write as accurate I passably can, and admit it, most person have a limited tolerance when it comes to how much they bear to read.
It's a time investment, I do not care to waste it, if I not in the mood, witch I'm apparently am right now.
I should stop lurking.

At least for me, a lot of the time what I want to say has already been said by someone before me (as it probably as here, I can't be bothered checking). Unless I have something different to add, it seems rather pointless to just repeat what has already been said.
Witty retort. Gordon Freeman reference. Meme endorsing laugh.saintchristopher said:
In all seriousness it's par for the course. I've been on this big Internet many years now, and purists are a part of life. I myself lurk from time to time. They may intact be simply waiting for the right time to respond
I only ever post if what I have said fully reflects my opinion, and is succinct in doing so. Unfortunately I'm one of those people who find this difficult, so I end up giving up on the post if the phrase I want doesn't come to mind. To that effect, I therefore lurk.
