You're so right...

Most definitely.
By the way, I believe I'm now doing excessive useless quoting, isn't that great? Oh, and

I feel so much better now.

What annoys me mostly is dicks who post in a BBS like they where in a chatroom. Abreviations are needed but leaving every other vowel out of a post is just pure infuriating. This isn't a SMS text message, you're not limited in what you can type, so be a grown up and use fucking grown up words.

In the immortal words of Strong Bad:
If you want to be possessive
It's just I-T-S
But if you want to make a contraction
It's I-T-'-S
Scalawag!

This comes under the form of stuff like haxor, where writers bizarrely abbreviate and place characters with characters that sort of look like them, et cetera. u no \/\/0t i meen???//
ya ur rite i h4t3x0r that
Another thing that really bugs me, like a hunk of steak caught between the teeth, are people who who type something incredibly snide, or rude, or bitchy, then sprinkle on some smileys like it makes what they said any less snide/rude/bitchy.
Fucking shithead.
Then there are spelling/grammar nitpick nazis. While it's important that people use decent grammar, as long as the message is on the whole completely understand able, there shouldn't be a problem.
lol you fux0red it up assface
Finally (since I only have a limited time to wrap this up), are the over-quoters. These are people who respond
Uh-huh.
to a two paragraph post by quoting each and every individual sentence, and responding to them seperately. This is a grievous sin
Yeah.
in my eyes for several reasons.
Yes, I quite agree.

Do you know what gets my goat? Where people go to any lengths to make exactly the same joke... that pisses me off something rotten...
Wait a minute...
