frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 BigD, why did you post a milder version of your noose? I've thought of the noose as a binary thread threat, not a unconvincing escalation of meaningless points and demerits. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 you should read nothing into variations of the noose. Any noose is the same to me, other than I try to find aesthetically pleasing ones. Also, they are not threats at all. They are editorial commentary on the worthiness of a post and/or poster. They communicate maximum contempt, and they were used often on the now defunct NWP as such. Similar to the NWP convention " Hels Yourself" Hels being a poster who tried to kill himself by driving into oncoming traffic, right at a semi. He lived, but the NWP community offered him no sympathy as he endangered the lives of others in his suicide attempt. As a token of their contempt for Hels, the term "Hels yourself" became as a synonym for suicide. Link to post Share on other sites
