What I dislike about some of the posting habits here

[Skwim]

Share your gripe, but no names or other identifying remarks please.


Mine:

People who don't identify the person or post they're replying to when it isn't immediately apparent. If you can't use the quote function then at least address your comment.​

 

[Revoltingest]

Poster who change what you said, in order to make a winnable argument.
They burn my bacon!

I also hate it when someone uses spinach enhanced intelligence to crush the opposition.

 

[Quetzal]

Starting the argument with specific examples and then moving to broad brush strokes when they are challenged.

Norman: Hi Skwim, what is the "quote function?"

Norman: Hi Quetzal, what do you mean by "broad brush strokes whey they are challenged?"

 

[Tumah]

I can't stand people who sign their name at the end of their post.
Look, if you're worried people won't be able to tell who posted your post, you're probably not ready to be posting here.

For example, let's say we are debating who is the best cartoon character...
User 1: Bugs Bunny is the best cartoon character.
(Various users disagree and present evidence that suggests that Bugs Bunny is not, in fact, the best cartoon character. Evidence suggests that Marvin the Martin is the best cartoon character!)
User 1: Actually, what I really meant was that the Loony Tunes are the best cartoon characters. So, I was right! Ha-ha!

Folks who just attack your position or ad-hom in-stead of defending their own.

That's not true, you dummy!

That's ridiculous, you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Revoltingest]

Posters with no sense of humor.

What if this person signed someone else's name?

[The Emperor of Mankind]

1. People who overuse the word 'please', hoping to make themselves seem more polite.
2. People who tell you you're wrong and don't explain why.
3. People who ignore evidence that challenges their point of view.

 

[YmirGF]

What frosts my socks is folks who move the goalposts and then pretend that is what they were meaning... for the moment, at least.
What ices my cake is when folks pretend to be interested in your comments and then slap you silly for daring to give them and that you are wrong, wrong, wrong... So wrong.


People who make hallucinatory posts, for lack of a better description, and then get all in a huff when people think they are a sandwich shy of a picnic

 

[Augustus]

Most of the time if I read my old posts I think I come across as a smug ****. I dislike that.

Other than that, when someone makes you clarify your points and justify them with specific referencing over about 12 posts then once you have done that they simply ignore what you have said and insist their unsubstantiated opinion was correct all along

 

[Rick O'Shez]

People who hide behind jargon which they never clearly define, particularly words or phrase beginning with capital letters.

I hate it when people complain about this.
