Re: Celebrations...
I'm just letting you all know that it's my birthday... just so you know. 
Sorry about that. The computer played up there. What I meant to say was:
Happy b-day!
Happy b-day!
*eek* I almost missed this thread! Happy Birthday IceDomina!
Have a good one! Mind telling us how long it's been since you pained your mother in the extremes?
Happy birthday. Hmm... can't come up with something more unique to say. Sorry.
Happy Birthday, Ice. May you kiss many girls. 
Congrats!
This calls for a major celebration! Bring on the presents! Break out the beer!
I hope you have (or have had; where are you, anyway?) a nice day with lots and lots of presents and cake and stuff.

Wargh! Missed it!
Happee day after birthday.

You are aware that there is a "Modify" button, don't you? Instead of replying to your empty post, you could've just added to it.
You could have done the same here by adding "Happy birthday, Ice." to your post before that post. (Or did you do this on purpose?)
You don't view the nested view, do you? Cause if you do (or did), you see that the first reply is to his post, and the second to her post.
He's in a hurry or too busy to use the modify button, of course. He's got to keep on being the top poster for the month, after all.
orry that makes sence.DD is post whoring a lot lately, doesn't want to lose that purple star.
I think if it's about his postingrank (wich I doupt) he wants to be an Über poster.
Who doesn't? I bet you do too Erwin, even I want it, but not badly lol

I don't. To me it's not importand. Too much free time and too much to say.

That is what we're talking about! 3 posts in a row...

It's called "responding to people individually". Some people prefer to do things that way. Besides I read a post, respond to it, then read the next post.
EDIT: Sorry this was meant to be an edit not a second post. I'm not sure how that happened.

This one you could've modified 
Besides, I don't post that often these days (like 1 post per day) and I'm still Super-Regular Poster.. so it's not like it's going down fast

I put an edit with an apology before I read yourp post. It also states that it was a mistake.
Besides at last look (last year) I was only a regular poster. I thought I was still that.

Poor IceDomina, this is her happy birthday thread and it ends out being a discussion if Draconic is spamming or not 
Poor us, nearly all our threads turn out this way, and it's starting to get incredibly old.

I'll try to remember that people here don't approve of people standing up for themselves!!

I don't approve of people ruining playful discussions by turning everything into petty arguments where opinions hardly ever budge anyway.
Just let things go, for cryin' out loud. If someone makes some remark about you, try to avoid turning the entire thread into hell in a handbasket. You don't always have to have "the last laugh."

You people always misunderstand my inentions. I dont try to "turn the entire thread into hell in a handbasket". I try to correct people about me or other things. I feel obliged to offer people the facts and truth when I have them. Besides I was accused of something. I was simply trying to stand up for myself by refuting it. There is nothing at all wrong with that.

"I dont try to "turn the entire thread into hell in a handbasket"."
Whether you try or not, you have to admit that that's basically what happens. Either you make an unnecessary remark or someone picks on you, and the unpleasantry rolls forward at an alarming rate from there.
You may not necessarily break any of the written rules for the board, but you succeed at being a gigantic nuisance, and I think just about everyone here, save IceDomina, Ducklord, and maybe some other non-vocal Dinkers, agrees.
I promise you that it would be in everyone's best interest, especially yours, to drop this discussion completely and let the thread return to its previous intent/peacefulness, if that can even be attained again. If you absolutely must make a further remark on it, PM me or for added fun, start "The DraconicDink Thread".

I must agree.
I don't enjoy the boards as much as I used to, because every topic ends up with Draconic Dink posting an awful lot of posts about how people misinterpret him and stating the obvious. In the end, all topics turned into one and the same topic: Draconic Dink.
I think it's a good idea for DD to lay low with the posts, and just, for crying out loud, don't defend yourself like you're addicted to it. People will always disagree with you, so please accept it. And quit posting so much unnessecary posts.
This is advice, please don't be all "Draconic Dink" about it.

I have to agree too...
Don't defend yourself like you're addicted to it.
Add that to the quotes.
My three points of advice:
1- Stop pointing out the obvious and posting (seemingly) merely for the sake of posting, even if you call it playing along the joke or something.
2- Always defending your own posts makes you look like you think that you're never wrong, and it spoils a discussion. (You do admit to be wrong sometimes (it makes you look better) but only on minor issues ofcourse...)
3- You try to end threads a lot, not by officially asking for a thread to be closed, but rather by posting very serious posts in nonsense threads and the other way round. Also stop your objective of posting one post about your DMOD every day.
Summary:
You may post, but you don't have to post. It doesn't boost your stats or something. And it doesn't earn you respect either.
*metatarasal tries to get back on subject, but fails miserably:*
Happy birthday Ice, how old\young are you now?
I hope to become 19 the day after tommorow, only cars and a serious illness can stop me!

Well...
1) Thankyou for all the birthday wishes
2) I'm sorry if I provided more fuel for the fire.
3) Tal, please don't assume you know how I feel about things.
4) I was a grand ol' total of XVIII (only 18...)
5) I'm in the UK
6) I had a lovely birthday.
7) Thanks again... I realise posting 'hey it's my birthday' isn't exactly the most sensible or perhaps even necessary thread, but I didn't realise it would cause so many problems....
Anyhow, a final thanks... and since this is an off-topic thread primarily about me... I thought I'd let you know that my... well, James (ie. the recipient of PPP) is coming to live with me in just over a week! (So I'm ridiculously excited)

Back on-topic again:
Congratulations with your change in living conditions and co-habitor(s?)!
Hope you have a very good time with each other and especially a lot of fun!

It didn't before. If you know what I mean.
