In the case I'm referring to, it was greed. This particular person has over six thousand posts and as far as I can tell (I went back more than 20 pages of posts in his profile), he ONLY posts on contest threads. He's just here to get free stuff. I could find no post from him anywhere else on the forum, although if I had the time to go back through all of them, which I don't, he might have posted some elsewhere (at least his first five posts, LOL!) as a newbie, but since he figured out he could get something for free, that's how he expends his energy. And he gets ...... when he thinks someone won something "unfairly." It was really ugly, and it just turned me off completely.
And yeah, Rich and I ARE two different people - he likes 6 mg nic and I like 12. He likes Butterbeer and I don't (oh, please don't throw anything at me!). I like Fruit Loops and chocolate covered peaches and he doesn't. We're different PEOPLE. But when someone's on a mission, stuff like that doesn't enter into their tiny little minds. I'll get back on the contest threads later, but also because it's summer, and there's so much work to be done around here during summer, I just didn't have the time to spend entering all the different contest threads every day. I'd rather spend my time here, chatting with friends, for my relaxation time.
