Questionable thread titles

[alatar]

Not sure how to handle this personal peccadillo, and so thought to - what else?!? - start a thread that somehow may lead to some therapy.

So it's late, and I'll looking over the new and not so new threads within a section, looking for somewhere to plant some words that may start some discussion but won't overtax my brain too much, and so I'm reading over the thread titles, and then it happens...

I get this urge to post one (or few) word answers to a thread, as, well, the answer's obvious and, well, you asked the question, didn't you? So far, I've held off, and I'm hoping that this thread will keep my typing at bay just a little longer, but...here's what I want to do, late in the night:

Did Aragorn really walk around the Wild with just a broken sword for protection? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=14882) - Yes.
Was Sauron a Balrog? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=14636) - No.
So what kind of fan were you? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=11202) - Nitpicky.
Who's got the best signature? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=4548) - Besides me?
The fall of the Dark Tower : how did you feel? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=14326) - Itchy.

I hope that that will keep me away from your threads for at least a day or two. Keep me in mind the next time you end your thread title in a question mark, as I may just answer.

Nitpicky. You said it. :p

Plenty of topics can follow this format. My dissertation had a question title: doesn't mean I didn't discuss anything therein! Besides, it shouldn't be the responsibility of a topic-starter in a discussion forum to remind everyone that discussion is encouraged in the thread. ;)

I don't mind the thread titles that ask a full question, but the topics that sound like they were created by Vinnie Barbarino truly leave me shaking my head (i.e. What? Where? How? When?). I believe a topic should at least give a clue as to what is hidden within, just a click away.

That reminds me of a very inappropriate thing I saw on tumblr which I post here severely tidied up (and will remove if there are objections to its existence):

All of the little deaths in fic are so violent. His little death came like a punch to the gut. It hit him like a mack truck. It knifed him in a freaking alley. What these little deaths need is a good education.

the little death tapped him on the shoulder politely because it wasn’t raised in a barn

By the time he came back to himself, the little death had washed the dishes, vacuumed the living room, and retrieved his lost house key from under the chaise lounge.
