This is it? Is this how you are celebrating your rank that is the highest of all!
It's just that I'm not really celebrating. I always saw the threads that were opened before you created this one as a mixture of merit fishing and vanity exhibition, and I never opened a self-congratulatory thread because of that.
Actually it's cool to get to Legendary but it was something that was foreseen to happen because I've had enough merit for a long time and I was going to get there. So it has been rather monotonous, that's why I didn't write a celebration in this thread, it has been rather a confirmation. And that's why I say that I think it's a good idea your thread, to concentrate all these posts here. In fact, if this thread didn't exist, I wouldn't have written anything about having reached Legendary rank.
You need to hire JJG and ask him to write some wall of text for you and then post it 😉
Let's see if JayJuanGee has notifications turned on and wants to write something about it.
He is, in my opinion, the best merit source, btw, the one who spends the most time reading threads on the forum. Sometimes some old threads, and giving merit to posts he finds to be constructive.
I don't use notifications, and so I came across the above-cited post (14 months after it was posted) and this thread by just reading through some of the posts.. which sometimes does result in skimming rather than reading in detail.
I do sometimes send smerits even when I don't completely understand the posts (or agree with the contents)... yet I might consider the post to potentially contribute towards someone else's thinking or that maybe it appears that interesting ideas were contained therein.
My being known for walls of text might be another dilemma.. in which there cannot be any assurances regarding future walls of text - and so long as no one deletes them, at this time, I don't have any plans to delete or edit any of them... if I do edit any of my posts, then usually such editing would be within the first hour or so of the post, and once in a while I will go back and edit something within 24 hours. I usually do not edit my posts beyond further out than 24 hours (except in OP posts of the very few threads that I created) .. . but if I were to edit any of my posts, especially greater than 24 hours, then I would likely put some kind of an
"edit" note in the post.
