39. What I find annoying

Fri Feb 7, 2014, 03:38 PM

Feb 2014

Is the posters that obviously didn't read the entire OP or the linked article. The knee-jerk reactions sometimes are unbelivable. Or when posters are corrected on their facts, and then you see them repeating the same falsehood in another thread later.

Hijacking is also very annoying. I'm not a big thread starter, but as a reader it's annoying to see long sub-threads not anywhere close to the original topic.
