3. Also.....

Posts that start with,
"I know I'll get flamed for this but....."
or:
"I've always been a ________ (feminist, liberal,open-minded person, etc) but......."


Maybe if the first line includes the word,"but", its bound to be a stink bomb.

4. You do understand that all right thinking people use that opener, don't you?

Sorry. I know what you mean but for me the hated phrase is "right thinking people".
UGH! I used to debate (endlessly) a Christian conservative in college who would use that "All right thinking people" language in lieu of actual evidence every chance he got. He was a fucking asshole and I called him on it but I never understood why the prof never called him on it...
