Deathworks has probably been accosted for it fifty times now. Don't think he cares.

[PTTG??]

Deathworks has his (her?) reasons for that. It's a philosophical difference- they think of each post as a personal letter to the rest of the forum. It's a bit odd, but not too bad. What bugs me is seeing a whole thread with special hand written signatures.

Also, an apostrophe is not mandatory before every "s". It's means it is, ted's means it belongs to ted.

I actually like the sound of that a lot.

That's how I've interpreted his/her posts as well, which probably explains why I haven't taken issue with it like I normally would.

I'm 90% sure Deathworks is a dude. He's also been asked that many times.

Bad grammar and/or spelling.  Standardized grammar and spelling exists for the purpose of making communication easier.  When people start tossing around words however they feel, it makes them *hard to understand*.  They aren't more clearly expressing their ideas by trying to ignore the rules,  they're just expressing their inner incoherency. 

This especially annoys me at work.  If you can't be bothered to write it up right, why did you write it?

I also sometimes add my name to the bottom of posts, but that is being turned into more of a "only during long posts" occurrence. Every now and then it still creeps in with shorter posts but I am trying to train myself not to.

Gal-- almost did it again! >.>

Its very annoying, when people necro threads, particularly when there comment, adds little value.

I would have waited a few months to post, "I agree," but I thought that might be a bit much.

Is it a necro if the comment is relevant to the discussion?

[miauw62]

Yes, then its still a necro imo.

I hate it when people use the term "Haters" when describing someone who expresses dislike over something. Seriously, it makes you look like a 14 year old when you say that. I also dislike it when people actively flaunt their fandom they're apart of around even if the discussion isn't pertaining to that certain fandom. Although admittedly only a few fandoms seem to do this often.

I literally have so many things that I dislike/hate on the internet, I'd hit the character limit halfway through the list.

I am very annoyed by pony hate. I am not a brony, i'm one of the few people that actually seem to be in the "meh" zone when it comes to ponies/bronies. I only watched the first two or three episodes, was pretty neat, but not worth putting my time in that could be spent watching other videos that i enjoy more.

I semi-recently discovered my contrarian habits extend to most any expression of dislike toward culture or groups associated therewith. If someone expresses a dislike of x group or fanbase, I will instinctually emulate that group (or desire to read up on them if I don't know what they're about). Say a band sucks, I might just look up their music. Point out a fashion you think looks silly, I'll go dress up in it (or would, if clothes weren't so goddamn expensive).

I've been doing this for years but didn't really consciously know it until recently. IE, whenever someone called me "gay" as an insult, I'd always respond with "no, but it'd be cool if I was" because I didn't like the unfortunate implications and wanted to passively defend homosexuals (and I can now enthusiastically respond to that attempted insult with "yes, I am!" but that's neither here nor there).


So please, if you ever meet me in real life, never point out a culture that you dislike. Chances are, next time we meet, I'll partially identify with that group out of spite. Exceptions for groups I already dislike myself (though not necessarily for the individual members within it).


So yeah, expressing dislike toward (sub)cultures is what annoys me, internet or otherwise.
