People beneath me who just don't try hard enough.

People who think that hiding behind a keyboard gives them a license to act like arseholes. And no I'm not just referring to the dramatics in this thread, but also the people who run the Megatokyo forums...

Snobbery

Elitism

Bullies

People who think that being single automatically makes you a loser

Drivers who think that if they can't easily see out of a junction, they might as well just pull out without even looking at all (good thing I'm a defensive driver)

People who keep that little sheet of paper you get on top of a new tub of margarine and always put it back on top before putting the plastic lid on, so there's an extra and unnecessary barrier between me and a nice slice of toast.

Guilty!

I have that pee shyness thing, cannot piss with other people present. It sucks when you're in the pub...

Those little tabs you get on a carton of milk, which make it a lot easier to *open* but the milk just goes all over the place instead of streaming neatly into your coffee.

I think the problem has basically been:

- Someone comes in with an obviously heavily affected style of posting.
- Said style pisses some forum people off.
- Upon being asked to just stop with the affectation, person doesn't drop it.
- Ambiguous uncomfortableness ensues.

The thing is when someone comes in with a deliberately obfuscated style like that then people wonder why. Everyone gets a bit niggly wondering why they're doing that. Even I get a bit anxy wondering whether it's someone from the past come back in to ultimately cause grief.

People here generally are just what they are and don't use heavily affected posting styles - no need for it really. It's not like we're a porn group or aught. People just are what they are, and so when someone appears with such obvious affectation, people are bound to take notice, and not everyone is going to think that it's innocent, is all.

It's more hygenic when you go into the cubicle because you can wipe the drops of piss from your cock rather than the "shake it about and watch them land on your clothes etc". Call me modern but I'd rather not have my pants smell of wee.

Oh and hand-washing? Always.

Site admin type people who de-rail a thread again after so much effort getting it back on track - tsk!

Yeah, people tend to be very wary of newbies. It's so easy just to create a troll account that it's easy to treat new people with suspicion.

Ties that are so thick and heavy they form more of a... house.... than a knot.

People who eat margarine without knowing what and how it is made of and thinking they are saving themselves from the DANGERS OF BUTTER.

SNR loss? This forum is actually one of the best ones I've ever come across in terms of everything actually being readable, and a significant proportion of that being interesting.
SoMe...MuPpEt...WiTh...A....bRoKeN....SpaCeBaR.... doesn't help that. "My Spazz" is ======> that way, and is the correct place for such things.
Did you think the same about eep?

About who?

I haven't been on IRC for several months...

I wasn't around when Limb_Clock joined here.

Nor *FX23 I don't think, however if he posted like he does but with alternating caps and replacing a space with eight dots, you'd have:

YeR...eItHeR...CrAcKiN....ThE...WhIp....Or...YeR.....In....ThE....KiTcHeN....MaKiN...ThE....TeA....AnD....BiScUiTs.....Y'GeT ...Me?

Not quite as funny, is it?

Whoever this "shillyshalley" is, they've been asked to knock it on the head repeatedly and haven't done so. The smug "one line response, claiming ignorance to having done anything wrong" to being asked to knock it on the head is VERY reminiscent of Digital-Shite to me.

Verdict: Troll.
