Beyond that, it seems there's also a small group of people who are sort of unofficially forum police who determine how "worthy" a thread is, etc. It just seems a little hypocritical and kind of clique-ish, I guess.
But the latter happens in all forums to an extent, I suppose. It just seems inordinately prevalent here.

Funny, because that Barea thread was in response to what people were talking about in another thread altogether - it's the perfect example of a needless thread.
Not only that, but it was a confusing thread title since all the other "appreciation" threads going up were for recently-traded players - that's why there's about a dozen posts in that thread where people thought Barea was being traded.
And really - why the hell were we talking about JJB in the middle of giant trade that had nothing to do with him? Oh, I know - because the original poster wanted to create a "look at me" moment to declare his love for a player who has become completely irrelevant on this squad...
Yeah, thanks for wasting my time.
