Correct sir, just a lil social experiment |
Both the best and the worst threads are those that either intentionally or by happenstance turn into free form conversations, where the topic evolves where it may. GW's grammar nazi thread for example. These often have the risk of devolving into flames but even this can generate interest among a select subset of folks.
Starting the thread off with a bit of self-deprecating humor inviting criticism is as good a start as I could think for such a thread. The strongest criticism so far received (and most effective) is "who are you anyway". But even though nova has not been here all that long, I doubt that there are really that many that don't know him.
As far as references to the previous "social experiment", of course anything is possible, and although I do believe that Lord Pinko's alter ego does walk these forums, I doubt that n0v4k4n3 is the second coming of Lord Pinko. But you never know.
