GC Pet Peeves

#1 10-31-2006, 02:38 PM

My GC pet peeve is having GCers threaten to call your Inter/National officers just because they don't like what you say on the message board.

Another GC pet peeve is GCers actually meddling in another organization's business, and then proceeding to spread false information online.

I don't know which one irks me more.

I haven't been here long, but I have a pet peeve.
I hate it when someone says "I'm not going to respond to that topic anymore, bla bla bla" and then they keep on arguing with people over the topic they weren't going to discuss.

Stupid.

Well, I'm just not going to argue with you over that.

The arguing about super petty things. I'd give an example, but there's just too many, in too many forums.

Pet Peeve

#1 When people respond to every topic in every thread as an expert.

#2 When threads collapse into arguments back and forth btwn just 2 posters.

Another one..

Getting unsolicited PMs from troublemakers because they know if they posted that shit on the General Boards, it'd get deleted in a heartbeat.

That's why my PMs are turned off. It's so much better this way.

That's funny b/c that has happened to me a couple of times. But I get more PMs from people who want to talk mean about someone I'm disagreeing with on the board. Some of them want to say hurtful things via PM but want you (in general) to be the only "bitch" on the main board.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who got those too.

It's tough being the token bitch for the silent folks.

I've gotten them too. People who PM you to tell you that they support and/or agree with everything you're saying, but won't post it for fear of being flamed themselves.

Those two things are what make message boards fun.

My pet peeve is when someone doesn't have a better retort than "you have (insert number) of posts so that means you (insert whatever high posts are supposed to be indicative of)" or "you need to get a life/have sex/find a man/eat mor chiken." Just type and don't worry about what usernames may or may not be doing in real life. Unless they continue to share their personal business, which may be a different story.

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH OTW!!!!!

And my GC pet peeve (well one of them) is when people are not allowed to mention a certain animal in conjunction with a GC'ers name, but said GC'er has the word proudly displayed in her location. Sounds like another case for me... [big bold announcer voice...]

THE DOUBLE STANDARD POLICE!!!
