Yea, fuck anyone with under 500 posts. Uh, (head scratch) I mean fuck anyone with under 400 posts. Yea, fuck them!

Ok, here's the thing that's really been bugging me lately, and definitely caused me to post a lot less. There are some new people who have this really bad habit of posting the exact same thing someone else posted just a few posts earlier in the thread. This to me says they are not bothering to read the thread, in order to make sure what they post is even a contribution rather than, well, as annoying as spam. READ PEOPLE.

And it gets exponentially more annoying when that "exact same thing" was fucking stupid in the first place.

Fuck all of 'em.

i almost did this in the sonic youth thread, there's a temptation and a knee jerk reaction to just want to chime in and offer your 2 cents, especially when the thread is several pages long, but yeah, it sucks and I try my best not to do it.

You wasted your 500th post on this?
Good point though.

My problem is that a few people are just dicks. I'm all for a little controversey, but cockbaggedness seems to be on the rise.

I had no idea when I did it. My bar went empty and I was labeled as tmidgett and spammer. I was scared.

My feeling is that if you've racked up a couple thousands posts in a month or two, then perhaps you're just blabbering.

I liked the new folks' older stuff better.

only about the 600th time I've read these words from this person

there's a lot of old farts here who make the same mistake.

also, i'd like to add that there are a lot of gasbags here and reading through bullshit can be excruciating. (i'm not excluding myself in this.)
