(Unfortunately, the whole article's an image, otherwise I'd cut and paste some here. Totally worth reading, though.)

1. I know I said I was leaving forever
and then I saw you posting this thread and there's a screenshot of what I said and IT WAS JUST FUN and I'm off for good now and I hope you're happy until the next time I see you posting something!

:hi: How goes?

9. #8
The people who call the unrec feature "censorship" fall into that category.

6. I didn't catch "must always make the last post in a thread argument"?
That's the most annoying "technique" that I've seen. Some people simply can't stand not making the last comment or getting in the last word.

11. I actually did post an innocent question once
in GD, and was dogpiled by the "Oh yeah, SURE you're just asking a QUESTION, freeper/teagger/woowoo/birther!"

That taught me to stay the hell out of GD. :rofl: I love this list, though.

I guess in GD, asking = bad; arguing = good! :thumbsup:
