Martyr Thread

From time to time certain posts are made on forums / bulletin boards that are in conflict with the focus or view of the board owner or community. At these times the thread maybe closed (ie no more posts accepted) or deleted.

The said thread can then become a rallying point, or Martyr for disruptive community / individual behavior.

Someone brings up a controversial issue / matter which subsequently causes arguments and unacceptable forum behavior. The post is then closed, after which persons begin opening new threads that refer to the closed issue in rebellion to the authority that administrates the board. Community members may also form factions which can then cause further community instability.

The thread could then be called a Martyr Thread.

I was at a party and I had to play threading the needle

One who refuses to accept how awesome, efficient and enjoyable a group chat, thread or conversation can be.

Double-thread

The skillful and dangerous art of chatting two or more people on Insta, WhatsApp, SMS at the same time.

The expert double-threader will stay current with the flow of all their chats, being careful not to send the wrong message to the wrong people.

The unsuccessful: may God have mercy on your Slack

Me (SMS): Hey, hey, are you still there? Are you chatting someone else - are you tryna double-thread me?
Her (3 minutes later): Baby, I'm sorry, you caught me! Haha. I'll tell my mother I'll hit her up later.
÷÷÷÷÷
Boss (WhatsApp group chat): Everybody, I need that response on the Dithers account in the next five minutes.
Soon-to-be ex-employee: Marlon, get a load of Mr. Next Five Minutes. Next time I see the boss, I'll tell him he has five minutes to fuck off!
Boss: looks like somebody dosen't know accounting OR double-threading

thread busting

commenting on a post or thread with the intent of stopping all future comments from the author or other participants. The thread bust usually goes off-topic of the original sentiment or twists it into a different meaning before ending all future coments.

post: the kids are at grandma and grandpa's for the week. time for some alone time with the wife.
commenter 1: that's awesome. you guys are "lucky ducks!"
commenter 2: I think you meant to say rabbits, not ducks.

this is a simple example and may not result in thread bust but shows the intent of thread busting.
