When an opinion is aired on a particular subject and of course there is always someone who is an absolute "expert" in the matter...

E.G - Thread ref something completely obscure, lets say elephant rhinoplasty. Eventually someone arrives on claiming "Actually I used to be a professional elephant plastic sugreon" ..... OF COURSE you were :rolleyes:

You don't need to be a specialist, not when you can say "I got it from a reliable source".

If you scan through a wikipedia article on something you pretty much are an expert though in fairness...

The trap closes!

Oh Jesus I wonder who it is!? Everyone is gonna be paranoid now. :pac:

Ah no there's people who grind off each other but sure that's just natural.

Vive la defférence!

people posting something really bitchy and putting at the end as if that makes it ok.

Also when people post tons of pics of themselves in kyn. We get it,you're vain and crave approval. Enough is enough

Good point. I think you add a lot to the forum.

People having a bee in their bonnet about the OP giving their opinion before others give their opinion?

People posting stupid sh1t in Bargain Alerts like "Tesco: 3 bottles of Coke for €3"

I'm guessing you haven't read the rules of AH then.

Oh it's in the rules? Like a lot of boards rules then, it's stupid and not needed!

I love BA but it gets clusterfooked by people posting about stupid grocery deals, back in the day it was full of good stuff, now it's mostly bullsh1t

The Hit and Run merchants. They post up an unreasonable response to one of your posts and disappear forever without giving you the opportunity of debating it.

Scuid Mhór · 21-12-2011 05:25PM

many a thread has been ruined by people trying to salvage all the thanks they can get.

I have a habit of doing that

It kind of annoys me when people say "I'll get my coat".

"Atari jaguar" wrecks my head because I have no idea what it means.

Yeah, that actually used to annoy me too, not sure how I started using it.

I also used to hate Jam and now I love it so these things happen I guess.

People quoting long articles then adding just one line of their own. A good guideline is: only quote the bit to which you are replying ... and actually reply to it (i.e. stay on topic).

Also: the word "ye" in titles. Not everyone in Ireland talks like they just climbed out of a peat bog. Nothing wrong with that if you did, but you don't need to put it in writing.

johngalway · 21-12-2011 06:36PM

Of and have are not the same thing.

Frank Black · 21-12-2011 06:39PM

People who say, 'you can't judge the situation because you're not a solicitor/doctor/prison officer.

Just watch me judge - I reserve the right to make ill considered, misinformed and inflamitory comments about subjects I know little about.

Stealing my ideas for threads, or posting replies that state exactly what I was going to post.

13spanner · 21-12-2011 07:11PM

Using your signature to make yourself look smart. Nothing says pain in the hole genius like 5 lines of philosophy ''as Gaeilge'' :rolleyes:

The King of Moo · 21-12-2011 07:12PM

People making ridiculous,sweeping, usually racist or sexist statements, and then refusing to budge in any way from their position despite being proven conclusively wrong, or worse, never replying if you call them on it. It's usually immigrants and single mothers who do this to keep themselves entertained while not working.
Whinging about trivial matters like it's the end of the world, and whinging about people who have more thanks.

"OH."

The advantages of 40 posts per page being lost due to a succession of long posts and short interruptions leading to me having automatically logged out by the time I finish the page.

Memes, but they're hardly exclusive to boards in fairness.

But overall though boardsies are a great bunch of lads. /shower of bastards.

Kind regards,
