What ones spring to mind?

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.

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 · 18-07-2015 04:55PM

-Scanlas
-Not Scanlas

It's split fairly 50-50

Mint Aero · 18-07-2015 04:57PM

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

osarusan · 18-07-2015 05:09PM

Well, this sounds familiar.

18-07-2015 05:14PM

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 · 18-07-2015 05:14PM

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.

Blue roll eye chap as a response to a massive block of text.

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 · 18-07-2015 05:24PM

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

PLL · 18-07-2015 05:27PM

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

Youngblood.III · 18-07-2015 05:28PM

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

osarusan · 18-07-2015 05:30PM

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 · 18-07-2015 05:30PM

The type who blame everything on Enda Kenny

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

blackcard · 18-07-2015 05:33PM

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

Saipanne · 18-07-2015 05:36PM

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 · 18-07-2015 05:38PM

Users that disagree with me. Damn fools.

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

Red21 · 18-07-2015 05:42PM

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

Saipanne · 18-07-2015 05:43PM

People who make vague posts

blackcard · 18-07-2015 05:45PM

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 · 18-07-2015 05:48PM

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