Alright. Enough. Quit being bossy and telling others what to watch
or what to listen to. Who died and made you the media monitor? Knock it off.

2. My No. 1 DU pet peeve:
Whenever anyone disagrees with me and then tells me I need to "read up" on X subject.

If I didn't know about something, I wouldn't post about it.

3. LOL! I just saw a post that recommended (vaguely): "Read some books
on the subject." :)

The targeted poster came back and ripped the other guy a new one, so all I did was post a "thumbs up." :)

10. Oh man, me too.
That burns me. Usually it's something stupid too, like "you need to read up on alien abductions you idiot."

13. My biggest pet peeve is when someone contradicts another's impressions
about something they've seen on tv. That goes for opinions, too. I'd rather be told, "I got a different impression/I saw it differently", rather than "No, you're wrong."

6. Yip, Part of What We Do Is Opposition-Research, So It's Annoying
that in just about thread about Faux, LIMBOsevic, O'LOOFAH---SOMEbody has to provide the directive, "STOP watching Faux (or whomever)." Or, "You're giving them ratings." Or, "WHY are you watching..."

The golden rule for discussion boards ought to be: If you don't like a thread, please don't post in it.

11. Clearly, the directives of which you speak
are the only think holding this board together. My mind can't wrap itself around what it would be like if no one was here to bark out orders regarding what's permissable. Probably pretty horrible I bet.
