Topical pet peeves

DrezDrez Registered User regular
edited July 2007 in Social Entropy++
Just wondering if anyone else finds certain topics of conversation so distasteful that even seeing a thread on the topic or catching wind of a conversation about it makes you want to vomit.

For me:

- "What makes an RPG an RPG?"
- Anything about EA or Sony.
- Anything about Jack Thompson.
- Anything about any state that isn't New York or California.
- Religious or moral discussions.
- Achewood.

    - Smoking threads. It invariably turns into "SMOKING IS SO BAD FOR YOU" "I KNOW" "YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT" "FUCK YOU" ad nauseum.
    - Religion/morality
    - Somebody famous died

    I've never seen the first 3 discussed here, Drez

    My pet peeves are not exclusive to SE++, TFS.

    I love Achewood threads.

    There aren't threads that make me want to vomit, but there are ones that are so boring that they're just automatically screened from my vision. For instance, I'm going to go to SE++ and list the threads on the first page that I had no idea existed.

    NFL Thread: Suprising Lack of Pitbulls
    400th Simpsons Ever
    Law And Order: These Are Their Stories (DUN-DUN!)
    Hobbypalooza
    Pokemon Thread
    Madrox's questionable sexuality ITT. (Comic Books, duh.)
    360 thread
    Of Man and Machine Guns (WEAPONRY THREAD)

    What amuses me especially about that argument is that if you could only argue with facts most arguments would be very boring.

    Yes that is definitely the worst thread outside of GnT right now. Though, to be frank, I don't even look at ODaM, WB, AC, GV or the Harry Potter forum.

    Not that specifically, but when people I otherwise respect say things like, "of course I believe in ghosts," like I'm an idiot for asking - that peeves me to no end.

    Also astrology. And anime.

    However, I love story threads. I have a shitload of amusing stories I like to tell.

    I usually just give wide berth to the comic/tabletop gaming threads as well. Nothing wrong with them, I just have no interest.

    I love those because its six posts of the OP being ripped a new one before it gets locked with some really acerbic comment from Orik or Knob, or a very angry comment from Tube.

    Exactly why they are awesome. Bonus points for the ones where the OP calls everyone online losers and acts like an internet badass.

    I was lurking right before Knob made thread assassination a bannable offense. Every thread got torn to shreds within the first 10 posts. I didn't feel like I was welcome until I was told to kill myself at least once.
