Fantod, you haven't committed a capital crime and nobody is trying to be unkind to you.
Try to think of a message board as a big room full of partiers.
You enter and find everyone engaged in conversation with others.
You don't start asking everyone what he is talking about and whether you can interrupt; you don't demand that inside references be interpreted on your behalf. You simply stand there, sipping your beer, until you overhear a conversation to which you have something to contribute.
And then you try to gently insert yourself into the conversation.
This is all that's being suggested here. The rest is just gentle ribbing.

I wonder if everyone on BWW was in a room what kind of party guests we'd all be.
I'm pretty sure I'd have some drinks, a few laughs with a couple of people, and then I'd sneak out without saying good bye.

clever name - there are many who advocate for doing just that at parties - ghosting or making the "Irish Goodbye".
SLATE Don't say goodbye, just exit

If BWW were a real-life party, we'd all be standing with our backs to After Eight. After Eight would be griping to Mjohnson2 in a corner and periodically announcing to the room that NO ONE was to touch the very special bottle of Scotch he brought for himself.

Confidential to Mister Max: I always keep a bottle of Bloody Mary mix waiting for you. But what brand of vodka goes best with it?

Horsetears, I'd suggest we run away together, but my husband can be VERY scary! (Not really. This is a joke, which I mention only because otherwise I'd feel I was libeling Mr. GavestonPS.)

Wait, why would After Eight be griping to me? I love THE WILD PARTY (I mean, look at me avatar) and MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, so I'm pretty sure that makes me tasteless in After Eight's book.

Posted: 10/12/14 at 4:04pmAfter Eight would be welcome at any shindig of mine. There are far too many bland people at parties.
#43What is the
Posted: 10/12/14 at 11:17pmI also love Stephen King, who After Eight always uses as a reference to what is wrong with literature nowadays.
#44What is the
Posted: 10/12/14 at 11:59pmAlso at this party would be Sally Durant Plummer, who would periodically switch between bowing and scraping at After Eight's feet to slapping him across the face with the cast album of PASSION

Mj, I just imagined that A8 would talk to you. I never said you would listen.

As the creator of the very first 'Smoking' thread, I'm going to chime in here and let you know what my intention was. I, in fact, was being a d*ck. It was during a time when the board seemed to be overrun by the youth of Gay America talking about youthful gay things and I was all, 'Bitches, just stop.' So...I started a thread quoting Sheila from A Chorus Line: 'Can The Adults Please Smoke.' It became a place where the more mature members of the board started sharing stuff about their lives and it took on a life of its own. A lot of friendship and kindness has happened in those threads.
But make no mistake. I was just being a d*ck.
