Re: I'm sure you have someone specific...

Am I doing this? I'm still not completely familiar with all your terms and what everything is called. If I'm doing this, plase let me know.

Thanks :)

Nope...

Your postings are not what Peter is talking about. This person knows of whom he speaks.

Although, you do sometimes come across as rather naive or obtuse... that is mostly tolerable.

No what we are talking about is something like:

Sitting in a bar, and there are alot of people there having discussions... then this person deciding to join every conversation there at the bar. Narry an inclination what is really be talked about.

Annoys the crap out people.

THEY ARE WATCHING YOU.
The time has come for you to take the last step.
You must love THEM.
It is not enough to obey THEM.
You must love THEM.

Thanks Greg. I know I'm naive about some things, (for example, just learned that the phone scam is called Slamming), and although I had to look up obtuse, you are right, if perception has anything to do with logic, I tend to have very little common sense logic. Although I think I am getting a little better. ;)

And you guys are all good teachers. :)

Oh, but let me add, (as I've told Scott many times), please NEVER post something and expect me to get it subtly. If you have something to complain about or tell me I'm doing wrong, please be direct. I simply don't have the capability to read between the lines, so it would miss me completely if you "hinted" something to me.

Thanks.

That helps explain it. You mean when they post in lots of forums. I only post in a few, actually, and I try to have some reason for posting, I don't post just to post if I can help it.

No...

I agree with Peter. It's like they all of a sudden feel the need to post just for postings sake...

IN THE MIDDLE OF GROWN-UPS POSTING A GOOD SERIES OF POSTS.

which effectively KILLS the discussion/arguement

And I repeat....

...this has happened for >years< with several posters.

Now it starts to bother you?

Again...there is someone specific in mind...otherwise this would have been a complaint >from the beginning<

It's like shitting on the dinner table in your own house *AND* everyone elses...

No, it's not the amount or content... it is the MANNER in which he does it now.

A Shit and Run post is not in good taste.

I'm not arguing with the annoyance factor....

...just the timing.

I've been annoyed by the style all along...just pointing out that it is certainly not new to this board.

Then we are agreed...

The timing is just that it keeps coming to a boil... backs off then boils again... and so on...

It it cutting through the thin sections of my skin.
