There are posters who annoy me, but now and then I read something from them that makes me think or exposes me to a view I had not thought of.
I have friends that annoy me at times but I do not stop being friends with them.

Maybe you just get upset/annoyed more than the average person here.

No poster on the DU has ever annoyed me so much as I could not stand reading anything they posted. I can't imagine that happening.
