You put it in the proverbial nutshell, Tarty.

Small wonder Lyin' Laurie, for instance, who in one sense, and by her own bold claims, is e'er the very epitome of brashly unapologetic, anti-social independence from and indifference to the feedback and opinions of others, is the biggest concrete status-checker of all, the most reliable thumbrater, the most frequent bragger or praiser concerning checkmarks and thread-counts, the most shameless bootlicker of the Editor, and the poster most wont under pressure to respond to critics with Lists of particular posters she considers "objective" proof of her worth and the critic's objective mis-take ("I enjoy topical exchanges with good posters like X, Y, and Z....").
It never occurs---never matters---to her or her fellow ICP list-makers that these List Participants change almost daily, and these days consist of whomsoever will pity them with an actual reply. They used to Appreciate your Fairness, poor Tarty! The Toad will go so far as to ask obvious questions the answer to which she knew the answer before, just to "bond", and generate List Mates (and lately, reply counts for BOTF!), knowing that certain unsuspecting and pedantic posters, usually men, are usually quite willing to be authoritative and chivalric in response to her pretextual queries, viz., "Yes, it's my pleasure. The capital of California is Sacramento, not Los Angeles".
