People who post without reading piss me off!
So someone posts a new topic (kinda like this one) and maybe asks a question or makes a statement. And then somebody replies to him. Then, two posts later, some other guy gives the exact same response, ignoring the fact that the question has already been answered or that the point has already been made. For fuck's sake!
And so, a few posts later, someone else makes that same point again. Instead of considering the fact that a specific point has already been made, this person chooses to ignore that point where he or she could simply say "I agree with -------" and move the conversation on. So instead of a debate, you end up with what appears to be a bunch of talking heads endlessly spouting the same rhetoric. For fuck's sake!
Also, in some cases people will read only the first page or the last page of a long thread, ignoring what was said in the intermediate page or 20 pages or whatever and repeat things that have already been covered. For fuck's sake!
It's happened many times before and it'll happen again. People just don't bother to read a thread properly and engage in a conversation. They are more interested in saying what they think without any concern as to whether it's been said several times before and covered to the point of exhaustion. To this, also, I say: for fuck's sake!
This is as bad as trying to bump up one's post count by simply adding the word "LOL" or a smiley to every single new thread while offering no actual words on the subject. It is almost as bad, in fact, as making 5 new threads on the same topic after each one in turn goes unanswered (and that has actually been done- for fuck's sake). It is almost as bad as not bothering to check if a subject has been done to death before creating a new thread. To all those who ask "Am I gay?", I say "Who gives a shit? Shut the fuck up! For fuck's sake!"
Maybe you agree, perhaps you disagree. Maybe you've been guilty of all this and perhaps, on occasion I have too. When I catch myself doing it, I am angry at myself, and pull my hair out (which takes time, because I hate going for haircuts and my hair expands to fill the space available- for fuck's sake!).
Either way, I hate trying to keep up with a thread when I have to go through several pages of repetition and smileys just to get to the point.
(By the way, as you will have noticed, I am very much "into" using the expression "for fuck's sake" today. It is my favourite expression for today. You may be getting tired of it already. If so, you will understand how I feel when I have to wade through 20 pages of repetitive bullshit each time I want to understand what the fuck is going on. For fuck's sake!)
In any case, I love you all. Well, I like most of you, anyway.

Looks like you missed a "For fuck's sake!" there :lol: In all seriousness, though, I agree with everything you said and enjoyed the way you said it.

Haha, I made it through about for replies before posting this.
Seriously, not everyone has the time you do; but are still desperate to make sure that you hear there opinion.
I mean, I don't have time to read 5 pages worth of mostly shit, but I still want you to know what I have to say, in case it sways you on the subject. And if someones already said it, meh, it only took you 5 seconds to read, and if its 5 pages long or thereabouts its probably a fairly active thread anyway, so your not taking time out to just read my single post.

Who says I have the time. I posted my rant precisely because I don't have the time to go through a jillion posts. Then again, I'm not online all the time unlike some people and when I come here and find a thread has grown to 4,5 pages I will either read them all- because I can't form an opinion without doing so (hey, I'm a researcher/consultant- I never give my opinion if I don't know all the facts) or I just give up.
