My favourites (I'm taking the piss) are the:

1. Respond to every post with a set of questions poster.
2. Pretend to be going out for drinks when loosing an argument poster
3. Disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing poster.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Posts a link with indignation and has clearly not even read the link themselves.

The "I'm never wrong.." despite it having been made patently clear that they are.

The virtual hard men. All talk and no trousers, as granny used to say.

There's only 2 categories I know of;

• Me.
• Cunnts.

GLaDOS

-Scanlas
-Not Scanlas

It's split fairly 50-50

Mint Aero

The ones who get upset when you won't engage in "arguments" with them :rolleyes:

osarusan

Well, this sounds familiar.

The 'I'm not anti-muslim/women/immigration/frogs' poster, who starts a thread detailing why he thinks frogs are bringing about the downfall of civilisation to get a few digs in, under the guise of concern.

Turtyturd

The 'serial stupid thread starter'.

Not you OP, but AH has 3 or 4 of them who seem to start 90% of the threads on here.

Also called a 'poo -thread' maker.

The ones who try to get that 2nd post.

<failed again>

Saipanne

People who write rambling walls of text in a pathetic and obvious effort to hoover up 'thanks'

People who answer everything with one or two lines because they are on a phone, and more importantly, they have a life


I'm the latter.

KKkitty

The type that no matter what the thread is about derail it by bringing up something about the dole/Muslims/immigrants etc.

PLL

Those who don't have kids suggesting how other people should raise their kids.

Youngblood.III

In "work problems" threads.....most common answer 'leave your job'
....as if there are thousands of jobs out there.

osarusan

Two you can come across here:



A: This thread is full of posters saying (outrageous thing).

B: Really? Can you point out some of these posts?

A: Sure if you can't see them, there's no point me highlighting them



And another I noticed recently:



A: It is a fact that (insert claim).

B: Really? I'd like to see evidence for that. Do you have a link?

A: I think you are posting nonsense so I will not waste my time posting a link for you.

eviltwin

The type who blame everything on Enda Kenny

The thinly veiled 'my life choices are so much better than yours' posts

blackcard

The posters who say 'You couldn't make it up '
You couldn't make it up

Saipanne

People who link ANY subject to Irish Water. The thread could be about the New Horizons probe and some clown will say "at least they don't have Irish Water out there, wha?"

****ing idiots.

NachoBusiness

Users that disagree with me. Damn fools.

Oh and whinging about the "Daily Fail" as a source.

Red21

believers and non believers and I'm not talking about religion

Saipanne

People who make vague posts

blackcard

Those who put 'lol' after their own posts.

Fishing exercises. They drive me round the bend.

You make some banal statement, stating fact you happen to know and they respond with pithy questions. So you explain.

They ask for proof. Then you have to go off and track-down some obscure .pdf file in the internet's undergrowth to satisfy their curiosity.

You present them with proof, all goes silent, and then ... they come at you again with a totally different set of questions and hissing new things they want you to prove. All the while, they contribute nothing.

When I'm King, I'll have these wastrels rounded up and put in the workhouse where they will be forced to sweep the sunshine off the roads with toothbrushes.

NachoBusiness

People who think what they have to say on the thread is all that needs to be said.

The devil's advocates.

The Shouty Noisy Ones. No........................din

anncoates

The link /proof merchants.

Where asking for link /proof isn't actually to illuminate an informal discussion, but as an obfuscation tactic to 'win' arguments and buttress an agenda.

For example, prove that Marty was in the 'Ra, etc.

That works both ways, with people who think that posting a link or video is case closed. To me, it shows they have no argument of their own, and no understanding of the topic.

bnt

Black/White or Love/Hate thinking. Example: the Angela Merkel - bashing thread a couple of days ago, I hinted that she might have some reason to be a little annoyed. Since I fell short of absolute condemnation, I was immediately accused of trying to "beatify" her (other poster's word). So, the Chancellor of Germany is either a Saint or the Devil herself, nothing in-between is possible.

Mod note

We are not using this thread to have a go at individual posters. Posts like the above are not welcome.

Tombi!

rereg accounts we know of and ban and non-rereg accounts we don't know of and wait to ban

That and people who argue for a bit then leave it and people who literally argue for days, if not weeks, over the same topic.

No. Think about it good and hard now. Start with the thread topic and work forward... there you go.


Oh, I have one. People who don't read thread topics.

NachoBusiness

Similarly themed / titled threads to ones which are currently active is a little baffling.

Rob ideas from another online forum if ya must but from the same one just makes you look like a big copycat.

Tony EH

Liars, posting crap they know is a lie, simply to bolster their own political agenda.

You managed to bring Irish Water into a thread which has nothing to do with Irish Water?
