Therapy for good threads gone wrong

So, if you have come up with such a thread, only to see it ruined by some
knob, feel free to come to this newly created thread to vent. Go ahead, let
it out! Replies in all caps are WELCOME here, it's socially acceptable! Give
some details, maybe some funny or clever insults, make yourself better...

Caveat- if you are one of the "thread hijackers", please give others this ONE
venting area; after all, you've tainted all the other space. Thanks for
understanding! Trent King

(I love the term “knob” - perfect! May I borrow it when needed??😂

Peter- there's no fighting the premise here! You have a keen mind, so I'm
surprised this phenomenon doesn't trouble you more. Here's an example:

Thread- name your favorite player named "Mickey", other than Mantle...

Response- How about Mickey Stanley?

Response 2- Did you read what Paul Stanley of Kiss, recently said about the
other band members during an interview?

Response 3- I didn't care for Kiss, too much makeup.

Response 4- How about Mickey Rivers?

Response 5- Did anyone really like Three Rivers Stadium?

Response 6- I like Mickey Mantle!

See what I mean? Does this really need to happen? Of course not. My
thread was definitely done in jest, but I still suggest people use it. After all,
you wouldn't want me to respond to your next thread about baseball, with
questions or trivia about the Iditarod, right?

Nicedocter- I know the tendency of which you speak. My friends called that
"Twitter muscles", a term I find apt. The vast majority of folks here don't
cross that low rent line, thank goodness.

Especially interesting when the thread starts about 1 player and a few posts later it is about a different player all together

Paul Stanley’s real name is Stanley Eisen, since he chose Paul Stanley to be his stage name Paul Frehley was forced to become Ace not wanting there to be two Paul’s in the band. I’m pretty sure drummer Eric Carr’s real first name was also Paul so he was forced to pick a different stage name when he joined years later.
