People that are rude to you because they don't agree with you opinion but then on another thread, the same person is greeing with what you have said. Very annoying!
DS has so few smileys though and thats nice and general and smug
I'm not a big fan of smileys in general. Humankind has managed to communicate through writing for long enough without them, so why do we suddenly need them now?
Anyway, the odd row because wires have been crossed can be most entertaining.
I really hate it, though, when people don't bother to read threads that are only a few pages long before chiming in with their opinion. If they can't be bothered to read anyone else's, then why is theirs so damn special that everyone else needs to be treated to it?
That annoys me intensely.
Baiters.
Self appointed DS members who try and moderate the forum when they have no authority.
* People who sign all their posts with their name. We can read your username, so why sign it???!
* People who simply post a link in their original post with NO explanation of what we are going to read or see. A link, in my opinion, should always be given with an extract.
* When someone makes a post and then changes it to 'Delete' about a minute later. WTF is the point?!
* The grammar police who pounce on anyone who makes a mistake.
* People who act as though they are 'un-beatable' and know everything and thus, are better than everyone else.

Do you think people should carry their grudges between threads?
If I have an argument with someone in one thread I try not to let that colour my opinion of what they might be saying in another.
The worst thing on DS is the little cliques that have formed.I've never seen it as bad as this on other forums I use.Certain posters seem to have "fans" that wade into a thread to provide back up.
There is no end of these cliques on DS. But I have seen it on many other forums.
Cliqueyness of a chat, daily thread on a TV programme or certain other major threads etc, and any new posters get their posts totally ignored by the cliques and regular posters, yet when you say something they disagree with, they soon reply, but with nastiness and bullying.
I hate it when someone is obviously "trolling" and yet so many people reply taking it seriously, which usually ends in an argument between the people who realise it's a joke and the people who don't.:p
And roll-eyes. I despise those roll-eys. I don't speak to people who resort to roll-eyes mid-discussion.
There's one thing I dont so much hate but it creeps me out a little. When people are discussing something in a topic, and one poster starts making references to another's personal life (family/work related matters, stuff like that), from past threads where the person has shared these details. "Aren't you the one who had another dispute with your boss about so-and-so" or "I know you said in another thread your mother is an alcoholic". Just a bit too stalkerish for me.
Yep - I find it a little creepy/stalkerish when I see that happen too, I don't remember who's posted what most of the time, and even if I did I wouldn't see fit to carry things over to a new thread.
Oh - and those who accuse others of being trolls just because they have a different opinion to theirs - that's irritating .

Sorry maybe I didn't explain my self clearly. If I state that I don't like something on a thread then someone starts being rude to me for it...then go on another thread and completely agree with what they have just disagreed with me about.
I know what I mean I just dont know how to explain it.

Ah right, I think I see what you mean. I thought you meant threads with completely different topics. I didn't realise you meant they were then agreeing with the same thing they'd just disagreed with.

That's relevant sometimes, I confess to having done it today. But generally I'd agree, threads are discrete discussions, rarely a need to carry over from another.

Trolls can be funny sometimes, though, or provoke some interesting debates.
I don't like snipey threads-about-threads.
Trolls usually provide the best laughs, and in any case, where exactly is the line? The LADS, for instance, and his obvious wind ups, yet Biffo the bear declared he'd bought a DIY colonic irrigation kit, did anyone actually believe him? Nobody called him a troll though, cos the joke was good.
I hate it when certain members are nasty to you on a thread over difference of opinion yet are nice as pie to you on others.
When a member is really nasty to you and you retaliate or challenge them over their nastiness they deny it or their online "fans" say they are not being nasty.
DS members who are rude under the guise of they are just being straight talking.

People know you're talking in code - we might not know what about and that's probably why it annoys me
Also, I will echo the "I've PM'd you". Grrrr.

I'm fairly sure that is the reason they do it.

OOPS!
don't care...........

You're annoyed by the Word of the Lord
I get annoyed when people demonstrate that I'm probably wrong. It's far worse than any abuse:o
I get annoyed by people who insist on their name being in capital letters:mad:
Someone overlooked the irony/sarcasm in my post.
Ah right, I think I see what you mean. I thought you meant threads with completely different topics. I didn't realise you meant they were then agreeing with the same thing they'd just disagreed with.

I'm not annoyed by the word of your lord as such. In fact I couldn't care less about the word of your lord.
What annoys me is when I ask a poster a question and 'the lord' answers me. I wasn't asking 'the lord' I was asking the poster.
When a member is really nasty to you and you retaliate or challenge them over their nastiness they deny it or their online "fans" say they are not being nasty.
