Stop with the gotcha headlines!
Jesus christ, grow up.

If you can't present an interesting idea honestly, then you shouldn't be in this forum. Posting a shock headline just to get to people to read your post simply exposes you as an attention-whoring jerk with nothing of interest to discuss.

Grow the fuck up.

6. What gets me is that some of this is coming from people who have been here for years.
And ought to know better.

Yes, they should grow the f**k up!

13. Yes
that's another sure sign that nobody gives a shit what you have to say.

Some people just don't get it, though. They're the kind of people with a special folder in the cabinet labeled "restraining orders".

18. Agree on both counts....

Thanks for saying this!

19. I wouldn't have exactly used those words,
and I can't say that I have agreed with you before, but this suggestion is tout à propos.

K&R!
