I think of these threads more as throwing chum into shark-infested waters. Yes, the entertainment value is high unless you're the one in the water when the skipper throws the chum bucket overboard.
Except there is no skipper to throw it. He did it himself knowing full well what would happen. Every time he posts it's a "woe is me" post about how pitiful and useless he is. He either gets sympathy or clubbed. There is no attempt to come up with solutions here just an unfettered call for attention either positive or negative. I bet this is the same kind of behavior that his wife gets frustrated with.
