    I've asked myself the same question every time I see these juvenile; "Say something to the person above" type threads. I just don't get it.
    Nor I.

    You know what I don't get?

    People who feel the need to question other peoples' motives, only so that they can then bust out whatever theory they have that makes them feel superior to said people.

    Don't like the "games" threads? Ignore them. That's what I do.

    But don't use them as a reason to show us all how smart you are.
    Ironic.

    On a related note, I like to think one's intellect is weighed pursuant to their ability to dismantle a propagated, long-winded diatribe, with a single word.

    Pretentious.

    Original.

    Much Googling of other people's copyrighted material, that you did not create, yet utilize to express your own "cleverness" in meme form, I sense in you.

    More Googling, may be in order.


    *In order, more googling may be.

    Yoda's syntactical quirk is predicated on the placement of the object of the predicate at the beginning of the sentence. It is not merely a rearrangement of the words to "sound funny" to your ear.

    There's rules, pal.

    Um. Ok sure.

    Let's say you're 100% correct. You were clearly moved to retort.
    Thus, does that say more about me?
    ...Or you?

    Banal.

    Well, clearly one of us didn't get it.

    Clearly.

    My following question is not in any manner intended to be condescending, insulting nor inflammatory. It is a serious query...

    What is the allure of the "game" strings? Specifically, the "I'll say you're attractive, then you say I'm attractive, and we'll all talk in self-gratifying circles for thousands and thousands and posts" threads.

    What is the value and purpose?

    It comes-off as a handful of people that are desperately looking for validation from complete strangers.

    Am I missing something?

    On another note, let's talk about you, a subject you're fond of. What is it that you're looking for, here at MFP. your profile is obviously a shame. We, well at least, I know you're not a 35 year old female. So what are your goals here? Did you join just to troll the forums? What is it that you're hoping to gain or achieve from MFP?
