"Filtering and de-junking a thread isn't quite the same, Smithsky. If you start reading something interesting and then some loon comes in and ruins it, it's more annoying than if someone had just started a crap thread. You can avoid crap threads, but it's hard to avoid crap in the middle of a good thread, if y'see what I mean."

Yeah, you said it, "annoying". But that's all - it's not that important. To be annoyed by something is part of every day life, it's part of being an adult in an adult world. It should not produce a desire to go out and take some kind of vengeance or retribution on the object that has "annoyed" you. Chill out Sweeney-pops! It's only a messageboard, not real life.

Oy! I wasn't talking about me, you loon. if someone posts about something to do with their hair do in the middle of a thread about rugby, it doesn't make ME want to take retribution on them! I was making a GENERAL point about things which irritate posters in GENERAL. Sure, it irritates me in particular too, but I just scroll through it (that's the beauty of flat views so beloved of Gabriel!).

If I sought to wreak revenge on every poster who'd said something annoying on a messageboard, you'd have been first on my list for a good slap. Have I ever slapped you?

Precisely. I rest my case.

So stop being annoying or I'll slap you.
