What type of threads do you find more annoying ?

Worst of the worst.

Don't you think it would be for the best? After all, it would bring the recall election to a screeching halt.

... annoying. Hard to get on the bobbin without breaking. Never wants to stay in the needle. Tangles and breaks easily.

The worst!

are you stalking me now since my confession the other morning? ;-)

:-(

best this? best that? Worse this? Worse that?

And when these people run out of them, they post the same ones again.

Nobody's forcing you to read them... :shrug:

and everything seems to be going along nicely. You're looking forward to the next few updates to the dialogue while browsing other topics.

Then suddenly, a flamewar breaks out in another segment of the thread, -even while your pleasant discussion is taking place.

It can be very annoying to see 10 updates, scurry over in hopes of reading good debate and find instead a lot of immature crap-flinging. Yes, one could just give up on the thead. Somehow it seems wrong to do that, and even more wrong to suggest that one should have to just to allow some poopy-heads free reign to poor behaviour.

I often read threads about "flame fests" which I must have overlooked or been oblivious to.

Occasionally someone will post a comment that personally sets me off, and I have to try to resist the urge to indulge my own poopy-head while suggesting that their comment could easily be interpreted as a "spark" for a storm of negativity.

At other times, I don't have the energy to deal with it; so I don't.

We know who likes kittens, who likes sex, who is clumsy, who lives where, who is sick, and who likes carhoods. Add more as you wish.

IT BETTER BE GOOD. :P

Skittles is one of the most wonderful, kind, and did I mention caring people on this board. I just love Skittles. :puffpiece:

is any thread that has folks dividing themselves into two camps, chosing up sides and hurling juvenile invective and poorly reasoned argument back and forth ad infinitum.

But that never happens on DU.

Very funny. Funny just now I almost got involved in one of those very threads over in GD. Smack me and tell me to stop it.

Stop it.

I found out today that I can't be liberal AND dislike children.

False dichotomies reign on DU.

with a little basting sauce and some applewood smoking chips. ;-)

:-)

I could... but you couldn't afford me!

Also, would you want ME to teach your 5 year old grandson how to behave? :D :hi:

:hi:

I do not think you are old! My mom is now a grandmother, and I don't think of her as old!

I just misread - I am so sorry!

(I still charge triple-digits for babysitting lol)

I am an extremely young and nubile 33. heehee.

But not by much. :evilgrin:

The best man will win...I hope...

wink wink!

and yak threads. They've become quite tedious.

People who vie for sympathy and 'love' every 2 or 3 days, not because something bad happened, but because they thrive on the attention.

They are often insecure about how others perceive them, and need constant approval.

An abusive background does that to a person I guess.

They often make up or exaggerate the details of why they need sympathy, because addictive personalities will do whatever is necessary to get it.

It does a great disservice to those who really did have something horrible happen, are truly deserving of sympathy, and it takes advantage of the good-will and poistive natures of many supportive and well-meaning DUers.

I loathe the sympathy-whores of DU.

bashing my head against a towel bar.:evilgrin:

:D I won't tell your grandkids though! ;-)

safe. :P

You know, like for this one it would be;

What type of annoying threads you.

I find it to be really lacking in imagination and at it's worst rather insensitive to sometimes serious issues.

2nd is posts by greens

There are a lot of threads I find annoying. The candidate bashing and Greens versus Dems threads in General Discussion drive me crazy so I ignore them. I also ignore the child free threads as well. I find it easier to ignore the stuff that really bothers me rather than posting a response.
