Promising OP title, but it misses the point by quite a bit.
There does exist smth wrong with the threads on here. The board is kicking on below potential. Pretty low quality OPs with not enough original takes or intelligent input, as if suffering from a sort of "English" wariness and cynicism, a sort of self-defeating sentiment of futility.
LFC-no606's thread to post ratio is the second highest of the not606 boards (53 per thread). I like Mito as the old sod is tolerant and promotes struggling threads that have merit, but Gerrez is a proper tw*t of a moderator.

I'm surprised by this post Frank - I expected you to 'get' Livtor even if the rest don't. Look a little harder, the answer's there.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious JB: that's Livs first post on this thread quoted above. Let's break it down:
1) tells the OP that his own thread is in fact wrong despite the thread being, well the OP'S....good start. (We'll ignore the fact that for someone supposedly so smart he missed that the OP was on a windup...Maybe he should "listen" to other posters to get a read on their very induvidal humour and style rather than call them sheep?????)
2) basically a criticism of everyone that's created a thread on here....getting into his stride eh?
3) same generalised criticism of even those responding to the 'inferior threads'....way to go Liv....that'd everyone insulted.
4) some anti English sentiment decorated in metaphysics.....nice. (despite a sizable portion of those posting not actually being English.)
5) No Wait!! He's re-evaluated his opening dismissal of us all and declares Mito to be..... adequate?
6) finishes with what I believe is the underlying basis for his post. He's still got his knickers in a twist with G for whatever he did on him...sorry I missed it so can not comment: deleted thread?
Maybe I'm too dumb to read between the lines. I've thought of him being a parody but he takes things too personally for that.
I'm not anti Liv anymore than anti anyone else...I mean I can hardly criticise him for being verbose or slightly superior in tone can I?
But on the other hand he's quick to personalise his criticism of others posts...so people stop responding to his ideas and more to him posting at all. He needs to stop calling people and idiot because they disagree with him. I have absolutely no problem with his quirky style or ideas other than agreeing or disagreeing with specifics. Like in this thread for example.
I genuinely don't understand what he believes is missing from this forum other than again a rather personal grievance he has with one mod and a deleted thread?
Wants "better" content.....do it then. Luv may not go on his threads but others might lol.
I stand by my view that Liv undermined his own point by pre-emptively dismissing or undermining people who would vote for the status quo as being "lazy" or "old" (wasn't your name lumped in there too?). Ageism is as invalid a basis for criticising someone as where they live.
So nope. I don't "get" why Liv alienates those he's trying to converse with. If he's trying to stimulate he's gone too far and his methods have been counterproductive to his declared aims.
