I am going to make this general observation, again...If you dont like a topic, if you dont like a certain [View all]

sport or interest or activity, but you then go out of your way to comment about how you don't care about something or you don't like the particular thing someone is talking about, it annoys the shit out of me.

Last thing I ever do, I don't spend my time telling you how your interest bothers me, I don't know how to say it better than that, meaning not sure if I am being clear.

Happens at various message boards I participate in. I can't get over how people will spend their valuable time telling others that they dont care or aren't interested.

That is all. Just my opinion. I dont mean to hurt any feelings, etc.
