Makes me wonder for how long will I be a newbie.
In fact, she used to post 3 or 4 threads a day, (a la Ocean or Icare) oops that will be you right?.
She hasn't posted a thread ever since.
Who cares what any of us say. Like you're going to stop posting because of me.

I reacted very emotionally when you mentioned it, so/and I think the criticism was justified.
But it is all fine. Overreaction. The newcomer thing now is just a joke. Don't worry.
But the many threads are fine too, I think. I just come up with lots of ideas I want to share. I don't think (mild) manic behaviour even is ever really to make sure one is in the limelight, just that the limelight might help in reaching certain goals.
But the limelight here is pretty static: always the thread on top. Very meritocratic. If people aren't interested, the thread just disappeares. Has happened to me countless times and not for a moment does it stop me from starting a thread if it might be interesting (for people with BP, people like us, but maybe something completely different like food
).
I think everyone should.
Edit:
To be maybe clearer yet about the (to varying degrees) manic behaviour of some: it is very much selfless. Even if it is to give oneself more credibility, the aim is not to inflate one's ego. The ego dissolves. So I am glad if I am just a bit manic. God willing, may it last forever.
