Little things that annoy on you on boards...

jumpguy · 2009-12-18 21:13:15

What're those little things people do on boards, or just about boards that annoy you (this isn't a feedback thread)? I hate it in AH when one wastes a first post opportunity with a crappy joke in hope for thanks. I hate it when you get the last post on a page in a multi-page post. Depending on how big and active the topic…

People who quote an entire post theyre replying to when its only necessary to quote a small part of it or indeed not to quote it at all.

When people talk about what gender I am instead of deaing with the topic at hand ...

Also people who post single word replies to get a load of thanks, I hate those guys so damn much it hurts sometimes.

And parody threads.

Insidious atheist types who waft in after statements that co-incidentally reference religion (in a Christian society, imagine that) to set things 'right', and usually with 2-bit humour.

Reminds me of Jedward.

TL;DR.

Self righteous Twats who even when you explain facts to them, still think they are right. Admit you're wrong and get on with it.

Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

The way you can't see what people did to get banned - it's like when they surround a car crash with police cars so you can't see the action.

Mods who know who you are IRL but hide behind their alias and passive agressively make decisions based on half true stories they hear from friends of friends.

What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, people who drag threads off-topic.

People who say "each to their own".

Would they apply the same mantra to a paedophile? Hardly.

So in reality, while attempting to appear all liberal and open, what they are saying is each to their own, within the boundaries of what they personally find acceptable, which is not really each to their own.

That sort of internet speak where posters add a H to the end of a word or change letters around. eg "teh interwebz" or "ha ha, you're ghey".

I just don't get it, probably cos I'm too old for it.

People who claim any spell of cold weather as evidence that global warming is a hoax

Who tend to be the same people whose response to any spell of warm/sunny weather is "If this is global warming bring it on"
