I don't want to be mean (and you do just seem to take this sort of comment as water off a duck's back anyway) but regardless of type, you do really just strike me as someone who doesn't like it when the attention is off him, and that's the main reason why you create a lot of threads about your type or any other subject - you love the attention, and that probably includes either positive or negative attention.
not exactly. I'll admit, it's certainly a perk until the attention turns negative, but not the underlying motivation. often I start to think "ugh why it have to come to this? I never should have made this thread" I think the reason I make lots of threads is that I'm trying I'm fishing for possible sources of genuine conversation. what tends to happen then is I'll throw in some sort of anecdotal evidence that people will refute and then question me as a person in some way which kind of spirals into endless debates on semantic topics related to me. this is actually why I try to post threads that are either clearly about me, or not about me at all. often I'm just as frustrated as everyone else when I start a good, intellectual thread and it turns into "let's team up on Elfboy". that's fun every once in a while, but it does get really annoying after a while.
essentially, what you're saying is about 30% true
