Cool story. I too play with a 6'er, does this mean I'm as awesome as you are?
You are right. Knowledge, personality, looks, sociability, etc. are so overrated. The important thing in life is to play a 6'er.
What's your opinion on the more powerful, but less used "This" in place of the ubiquitous "+1"? I personally feel that the former shows stronger agreement, particuarly on philosophical or life issues, whereas the latter is more of a general all-purpose form of showing agreement.
What say you?
What say you?
and i didnt realize i was being "unciviliized", thats a very unnecessary generalization. and noone has to conform to my idea of what blahblahblah should be..but i'll be a monkey's uncle if this isnt MY thread..dance maki dance.
I have disco inferno playing in my head with "Dance Maki dance" instead of burn baby burn. It's fun.

really grinds thee ole gears. someone (typically the OP), may make a veeeery long-winded post, which is cool, i enjoy a good read just as much as the next guy. my issue is, why do some of you copy that ENTIRE post, paste it back in the thread, and follow it with a lazy " +1 "? sir / ma'am...are you serious? it just took me 17 finger flicks to scroll though that original post, now ive scrolled though it AGAIN on a count of YOU, and i'll probably have to scroll though it 12 more times during the first two pages of any given thread, and you have nothing more to offer than " + 1"? YOU members...YOU who engage in this type of behavior are who i refer to as the "+1 Army",YOU who owe TB so much more than a +1...you who will +1 my statment as if to say "yer right on calbo, but +1 . your statement is lacking something vital..so i'll add 1 to it, but i wont share what it is".that felt GOOD, mods i wasnt sure if this belonged in the off-topic section or the technique section perhaps? please feel free to move it or sticky it.. and why do guys always tell mods to move something? lmao! *my mod voice* "thankyou for your permission BedroomBass6969, i would have never known to do that without your direction"
maybe he'll re-post the part where i said i thought i was "awesome"? hush sir lmao i think some of you want to get my 1st thread shut down? i wouldnt mind seeing it become a mega thread myself. some of you would spontaneously combust if that ever happened, wouldnt ya?
what was offensive about me saying "i love bass and i play a 6'er" though..it would seem some people have an agenda here? which brings me to the topic of my 3rd thread.."Trolls :Cute, Hairy Creatures Who Sit Atop Pencils or Cute Hairy Creatures Who Sit Atop Progress"

Neither, trolls live under bridges and eat goat & small children who refuse to answer riddles.

(+1 - 2) x (6/64 / 17) - (a + c) where a ='s +1 / -1
great replies sofar everyone. like i said, youre all taking part in one of the most ORIGINAL threads ever..a couple have tried to prove me wrong, but then they said "uh..i cant find one right now, but as Flea as my witness Calbo, i will grrrrr!" lol
All right, at the risk of tossing some logic into this yuk-fest, here's an answer to the original question:
The reason that people quote the entire original post before responding with a +1 is because if they DON'T quote it, their "+1" might be interpreted as an agreement with another post in between the original post and their "+1". There are usually numerous posts between the original and the reply. So it's done for clarity. To ensure that the +1 is attributed to the correct post.
Okay, carry on...
