    Dream threads. I'm sure it sounds interesting to you, but no one else gives two shits.

    Agreed

    Unless I was in your dream, who cares

    Ugh dream threads. It's hard to care when people tell me about their dreams in person, I don't want to read about the dreams of some anonymous internet person.

    Also i hated the Manifest fashion tips thread with the passion of a thousand whores. Yeah, I'm gonna pay $50 for a plain T-Shirt when I can get them at Wal-Mart for $4.

    Camwhore threads suck

    Though it does help to weed out which ones are the real attention whores.

    The last 40 pages of camwhore threads. No pictures get posted, and people usually just get into an argument over who would fuck WaM more when we all know nobody would ever fuck WaM.

    Various PAX threads that leak over into other topics. If you want to ask a person if they are going, do it through a private message or with an instant messenger program.

    It's not so much a problem around here, but there was a very very long time over at FS where the camwhore thread was the only active thread on the forum.

    Granted that was because people mostly used the camwhore thread for chatting, but since I only checked the thread all of once per iteration, most of the discourse was lost on me.

    i agree with lurker-bait threads, because i'm an elitist prick. No, really. I do kinda like camwhore threads, as a chance to see what everyone looks like. I do not, however, like it as a chance to see what one, and only one, person looks like in every item of clothing they own, and every room in their bloody house.

    I also don't enjoy Jack Thompson, bash EA, or 'games as art' threads, because they only ever end up in circular arguments with both sides having points, and neither side willing to concede to the other. Only ever end up with the same points bouncing back and forth. As it happens, i love debating the concept of games as art, but just not actually with anyone.

    Yes, thank you. I like the beginnings because, honestly, I like to know what the people I'm talking to look like, and you can tell a lot about people by the pictures they take of themselves, and you can tell more by the pictures of people when they don't know a camera is around, like most of mine.

    The ends suck.

    The transformers hype, here and in the media, made me track down the original transformers series. ugh. I should have been content watching the original movie and tracking down the soundtrack to blast in my car.

    I just don't like internet fights ever because everyone involved is an idiot. Yes, me too. I've never seen anyone, after 20 pages of arguing, say "that's a really good point, I was wrong", because unlike real life, there's no chance of a friendship being lost, you're just raging at an anonymous avatar. Also, I'm the first person to ever expose the idiocy of internet fights.

    The funny thing is that I see plenty of instances where people will concede the other person had a good point. Then idiots like you conveniently forget/ignore those cases and pretend that everyone's a stubborn jackass.

    It tires me out. I don't want to fucking fight in this thread about something that is completely irrelevant and is only brought up because he's probably still angry that I said I didn't like Blade Runner.

    EDIT: "idiots like you" isn't a personal attack, huh? Whatever. Shut up. I'm not going to fight you in this thread, I'm not going to fight your stupid bear head.

    Here's the thing about SE: You act like an idiot or say something dumb, you're going to be called on it. Doesn't matter how long you've been here or how many posts you have. It's fair that way. Taking anything as a personal attack isn't going to get you very far, because no one fucking cares enough to attack you personally. Unless you're a troll or cronyx.

I'm sorry I took your insult personally. Can we be friends? Blade Runner wasn't that bad; I just missed where the photo came from and didn't want to admit it because it would prove me wrong.
