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.

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.

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 too have gotten a couple of PMs asking me to call out someone.

It's like, if you want to call someone out...just friggin' do it and don't ask others to do it for you!

Guess it's those internet balls that makes some people post when others shy away.

This is why you should have never revealed you were KEYBOARDCOURAGE! Perfect gimmick for outing people!

That happens in real life, too. I hate it when I am in a debate over a controversial topic and people later come up to me and says "ya know, I agreed with everything you said but I couldn't think of the words to express it." You mean to tell me that an adult couldn't think of the words? Or were you just scared to go against the grain and not be kissing ass for the first time in your life? Yet you were fine with watching me debate a point against a group of people and be labeled a "disagreeable bitch?"

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.

So Dionysus was KEYBOARDCOURAGE?!

Well a hearty "f*ck you" to her for trying to call me out a while ago. Which is funny for someone to create a more anonymous screenname to attempt to call someone else out.

Dear god, do we work at the same place? I don't mind to be labeled as a disagreeable bitch, because thats what I am, but I hate it has to hurt my reputation as a good worker.

When did I try to call you out?

KBC was used to MOCK people who were uncomfortable to post their real thoughts under their original usernames. Also, I don't remember saying anything that negative when I used that SN.
