Me. All the time. I bet there is at least one in my last 5 posts where i am the last poster.
ETA: yes, there is. I think it's because i am that witty that nothing else needs to be said after i post. Yes, that must be it.

My latest one was the daycare gate one.

I killed a perfectly good one yesterday about a lady who kept chatting to DH's dinner guest, meanwhile DH walked off and no one noticed.
I just asked if the friend was hawt

Aww, thanks Mumto1B2G. Tho I'm not sure if I'm happy to have not killed the thread, or sad that I've been disproven...

I am. I have also been known to start threads that never get off the ground and sit for infinity with their sad little '0 Replies'

There used to be a buddy group of thread killers....

I've found the trick is to get in early. I don't bother responding if there's nothing unique to say about a topic.
Now I'm wondering, who will be the one to kill this thread? Will they be crowned the ultimate thread killer?

So true - and the only REAL thread killers on EB.

That's why I rarely start new threads.

I'm a mod on another forum and I frequently kill posts. It's like no one is game to reply after me if I have to remind people how to be nice to one another

I think it's more like showing up at a party fashionably late, only to realise that all the cool people have gone off to a club already, and all that's left to eat is dried up kabana chunks and watered down punch.

Is that an unanswered comment from him?
ha ha. I do. If you do it without trying, is that just luck or can we class it as winning too?

08/11/2012, 01:27 PM
Yes I do, it happens reasonably often.
I should have kept a list. During my nearly 12 years on EB I seem to have killed a large number of threads.
Will this be one of them?

I can also relate about starting threads that go nowhere.

I tried damn hard to kill a Santa thread by killing Santa, but then people just started drinking vodka and it all went to hell in a handbasket.

I am beyond a thread killer. I am the worst kind of serial thread vicious murderer.
I am a totally lurky mclurk lurk but every time I try to be brave and join the conversation, I end up killing the poor, innocent thread.
There will be no post after this one.
