A person who makes some kind of awkward comment on a status thread, which stops the thread dead in it's tracks.
Some of the reasons for the thread stopping on the thread killer's comment:

1. Other threaders don't know this person well, so take the comment in a negative light.

2. They remember her/him being a "weirdo" in school/former or current job, etc.

3. Other comments in the past by the thread killer were confusing and possibly: crude, inappropriate or might appear hurtful, due to the absence of a smilies or winkies.
Look at how long this badminton status thread was going, until Brian commented this:
The best strategy is to try to hit the shuttlecock straight into the opponent's naughty places.
He sure is a thread killer!

Strange, because I have a pit bull, I'm a vegetarian, I breastfed my kids in public, and worst of all, I like Olive Garden.

Oh, and I spanked each of my kids at least once.

I love Steve Perry.

Maybe it's just easier to ignore me, although only one person has me "on ignore."

I have certainly felt like a thread killer from time to time. That seems to have improved, but I still can't post an OP that interests people to save my life. Luckily, so far my life hasn't depended on it.

P.S. I'm not the person who has you on ignore.

P.P.S - This post is a joke/snark/

In fact, I don't have to declaw it. Just by my posting in it, it dies.

Behold the power!

it's me

This doesn't even count. You posted in a thread that is already dead! It just doesn't know it yet.

Of Bake! [img][/img]

IMo: declawing is in order.

That was supposed to be "declare."

I was seriously having self doubt about my 'friendly' credentials, eight years ago. I'd post and flatly be ignored and often I was the final post at the end of the discussion. Oh boo hoo, I'm crying my self a river. I'm over it.


Mostly.

Don't all of us want to kill threads that turn into back & forth duels of hurt ?

But they're like zombies, they just keep getting up. Apparently it takes a head shot ...

They keep coming back. Just when you think it's finally dead, 2+ days later it shows up again.

Each of us gets a turn (or 2 or 3 or... ). And now we shall see who is the last poster in this thread...

...unless, of course, I Kill It...

I almost killed one off this morning. But alas, somebody replied about an hour after me.

They sink so fast after to page 3 no one can tell.

funny man.
