simple, when it straight up doesn't work.

either sites going on and off or just my connection just refusing to stream video's.

waiting, sometimes to the point of where it's just not going to happen. It's the only thing you can't ignore or glance over.

hey maby not always the internets fault but still the only thing that can really get me on edge.


And on spelling and grammar. seeing how I am myselft not a native english speaker I think people should be cut some slack over making grammar or spelling mistakes. It's ussually pretty easy to see who is making honest mistake because he isn't fluent in a language and who is just talking giberish for lack of caring. In some cases it does however appear people lack a left arrow and or backspace/delete key and just don't give a shit, that is just terrible.

This post is silly, didn't you get put on probation for doing this exact same thing?

No, I get put on probation for speaking my mind, which the majority of the people on here don't have the balls to do.

Other. Unnecessary hostile language bothers me- and I don't just mean saying naughty words, though that is part of it, I suppose.

I'm fine with Bronies, though.

Speaking your mind does not mean you aren't making ridiculous assumptions.

By saying that I do, you yourself are making a ridiculous assumption.

I don't like aggressive elitism. The people who disagree with your opinion, say you're wrong (most of the time when you're not), hurl abuse at you and act like smug assholes. Them. I hate them.

Bad grammar doesn't annoy me. Nor does trolling - I see the humour in both of those.

I am also gravely annoyed by "furries". Those creepy guys with avatars of fox-boys smiling. Gives me shivers. Especially when they start talking about paedophilia and incest and other creepy stuff like it's no big deal.

Just reading a few sentences from that post i could tell you were a Brit...mainly because no other nation understands the eloquence of the word ****.
I used to think that, but then I visited Australia and I realised that they do it better. South Africans clock in a close second.

*sigh* you're suggesting that Halo and CoD players can never be considered a "veteran" of shooters, even though CoD has been around forever and Halo is over nine years old. Playing a franchise in the Shooter genre for nine years does make you a veteran, and you're asserting that it doesn't is Ridiculous.

Does it matter to you that much of what I think? You are truly wasting your time typing.
Not really, I feel you should know how I feel about your opinion. And it isn't a waste of time at all, I've got the day off.

I really dislike bad grammar on forums. I understand it on IRC and in games etc. But when you have time to read what you're writing and even a spell-checker... that's just RAWR!~

I would definitely have to say bad spelling, though I've been pleasantly surprised at the coherence of the posts here at Escapist thus far.

Some of the people down here love that word. I think I've actually heard someone say it 6 or 7 times in one sentence, with no double ups and with each use having actual meaning.
It's sort of like an art form.

Unfortunately like most art, I detest it's use with a passion.

Blatent spelling errors and abbreviations like "u" or missing out capital letters or punctuation... I don't mind the odd mistake but everyone online should be old enough to write a coherent sentence and it isn't that much effort to write in proper grammar.
I like your interpretation of the word "blatant" ;)

Ha!

(That'd just be classed as "the odd mistake" though, so it's all good)

I was going to say nothing that's specific to the internet, and then the second poster posted a big ass picture of a pony.

Yeah, that annoys the shit out of me.

No worries, I took no offence. My search-fu is extremely weak and revealed only tangentially related topics.

My biggest internet peeve right now is this damn CAPTCHA nonsense the Escapist is encumbering us with.
Yeah, I was just worried that you would view it as a passive-agressive pass at the current thread.

I haven't seen this thread in months, and only twice or so total. People hate necro threads more than repeats, so it's fine.

As for the CAPTCHA, I kinda want to see it. I haven't had one yet, and probably never will.

1) Absurd accusations of trolling. There is a difference between feminism and trolling, for example.

2)"TL;DR". You are on a forum. There is literally nothing else for you to do here except read. And write. Preferably in that order.

3)Slurs. There are better ways of insulting people than targeting their race, gender, mental ability, &c. "Fuckwit", for example, is a good, non-oppressive way to suggest that someone's opinion is wrong, and that they are a bad person for holding that opinion.
