Golly it drives me blo.dy crazy!

Post: # 971539Post quidnunc »

I do get absolutely frustrated trying to read different view points about footy topics. Living in NSW, I do miss the friendly banter etc. at the local over a few quiet ones.

So, I venture to this site to hear (read) the opinions of others. From time to time I respond, sometimes others may agree, other times they may not.

No real problem there!

What I damn well hate though is those who perpetuate a difference of opinion and the "one up-man-ship" through a thread and hijack the enjoyment of others.

If you are one of those who "highlight" others comments and post it before adding your comments, for whatever blo.dy reason, could I suggest ...........

Give it a rest!

And if you are one who replies within one minute of another posters new topic - GO FOR A WALK AND THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU TYPE.

Have a nice day and Go Saints!

It is fast becoming the 2+ page rule.

What are your thoughts on people starting threads that have nothing to do about the saints on the saints board?

How do you debate a difference of opinion without quoting the opinion you wish to debate? :? Gets very confusing sometimes if people are just randomly putting their thoughts down. No-one knows who the comment is directed at. Within a thread there can be a comment worth debating or even agreeing with :shock:

I understand where the OP is coming from. There really is no point in quoting a quote, of a quote, that quotes a quote, until a whole page is taken up.

It does infuriate me to see threads taken up by completely meaningless quotes.

I will not quote unless absolutely necessary for the context. I then get abused for not quoting. Then again I get abused a lot.

Been a pet hate of mine for ages, People who quote or requote 1000 words of text then add "I agree" under it
