Re: Tipping Threads: Whats your opinion?
The irony is, your very cogent explanation of when "the whole thread turns to [censored]," which I agree with, provided the impetus for someone to start turning the thread to [censored]. It's not that Wongboy's post is that bad either -- it's just the kind of incremental step toward BS that's about three posts from reminding us why we can't stand tipping threads.
I actually don't foreclose the possibility of anything novel ever being said on the topic of tipping. It just drives me crazy to see the same old arguments for non-tipping/always-tipping rehashed over and over again, because it's so pointless.
If shutting out new people with the same, old, pointless arguments -- or more properly, asking them to dig up old threads rather than hijack new ones -- is elitist, then call me a proud elitist.
I really do love having new blood on this site (I wouldn't spend time in Beginners if I didn't) but I think we can "encourage" people not to keep making the same damn points.
