How does the mute option work in this scenario:
If I mute a player, will it in turn mute any threads he/she may create in the future?

I mute everything in the forum except for game-related or threads (I'm here for the game, not for...that). It takes a chunk of time each day to do that. If I were to mute users rather than threads, would it save me from having to mute any threads they may create in the future?

Googled it because I'm bored and that doesn't sound like me in person. On the forum people troll around the clock obviously, but IRL I'm more of a silent force who seems like an ass but got anyone's back when needed.

I prefer to help in a very thankless way.

And I don't give a fuck about what the group thinks most of the time; I don't seek to be popular or even liked, but most people get I'm a nice guy after a couple of years.
The others are too busy looking at my clothes without a brand or my hair with which I do nothing other than taking a shower daily and a haircut 1-2 times a year.

If that's a disorder O can't wait for the whole world to get it because then we wouldn't be so hostile and burning out so much, just to name 2 things.

IMO, the 'normal' persons are usually the ones with the disorder if you ask me. Too busy tweeting, bullying, fighting and gaining popularity to do something useful with their life.

DSM added unspecified non-symptomatic mental disorder to the new version to catch anyone that doesn't fit an existing mental disorder. Consider it the other box when they can't check off any of the regular boxes in deciding what's wrong with you.

"its a shame delusions of grandeur doesnt have a code."

a few options there:

295.~ Schizophrenia (technically it falls under Paranoid subtype but it encompasses gradiosity as well).
297.1 Delusional disorder, Grandiose Subtype
300.14 Dissociative identity disorder (otherwise known as multiple personalities)
301.81 Narcissistic personality disorder

@krellin: I thought you would know by now (especially you actually) I'm not worked up. Partially I see little point in giving my messages specific tones, but mostly I don't know how.

Just being a bit more serious, or a bit less troll-ish. Note there are most likely also people reading who actually are worried they have a disorder or know they have one and see it as a problem. I sort of seek to defend those who feel attacked as a rule, without making big deals out of it. If you want to know why, read my previous post.

I know this is a jokey thread, and I'm not worked up. Let's just say it gives me a good feeling to be a bit more careful than your average webdipper.

Besides, SYnapse might be not too serious this time, but I bet he thinks he's onto something here.

Another way to put it is that I didn't want to make a new thread for my slightly more serious post.

Wasted enough time for now, back to homework.

steephie - when you get so worked up, you need to take deep breaths and walk away from the computer. The sudden, unexpected nap is no doubt because you were so excited your body surged with adrenaline, and the consequential crash and nap was your body's reaction after the adrenaline wore off.

Remember - deep breaths, walk away...you'll get those emotions under control eventually.

NFL Pick 'em: Week 12: The Home Stretch Begins
6 weeks left, and they all matter. The 2nd AFC Wild Card team changes by the week, the Chiefs and Broncos look like they'll go down to the wire on the division lead, and 11/16 teams are still within a game or two of the playoffs. In the NFC, the Lions try to hold off the Bears, the Giants suddenly look like they might make it back in a weak NFC East against the Eagles and Cowboys, and my Niners...better right the ship this Monday Night...so pick 'em...
