Man, your avatar creeps me out whenever I see it. I become fixated on it and have to hit ESC to stop the motion LOL

(Off-topic posts....but sometimes they can be funny )

Posters that sign their name at the end of each post.

Oh man, the "entrenched poster" is something I have frequent problems with slasher96

but what if every sentence in the quoted post is wrong - what is a person to do then ?

reply to post by ignorant_ape


I don't know, I guess I'm kind of put off by the whole line by line dismantling tactic. Probably because often times it is used by a very opinionated poster and points are refuted subjectively.

I prefer arguing based on main points as opposed to line by line nitpicking.

Just taste.

It makes me twitch when a posted thread becomes a bantering chatroom!

The above... the all meme post. or...

Noooo!
The Guide to BBCode on ATS should be hidden from the masses!

No! I say to colours

No! I say to font size

This is ATS not a PowerPoint presentation

For those who took the more positive interpretations of the word bantor. I meant it in the negative. Apologies. Should have said riducule, divererge, take away from, converge and team to detract from the main topic.

I did like the pictures though they were empty without bantor.
Thanks

Funny
Mine is this:

For some reason there is a disturbing trend that I have notice of late [color=LightPurple]that people are adding [color=PastelGreen]colour to their posts
[color=DeepSkyBlue]This actually irks me [color=Cyan]and hurts my eyes
[color=Sienna2]I really want people to stop it

Especially the yellow
The yellow [color=LawnGreen]drives me nuts

[color=cyan]Can y'all just stop it and stick to white please

[color=LightSkyBlue]Thank you

Classic! To me, the people who post these types of replies are like people who 'act' in soap operas. I ask myself:
"Does anyone really talk like that?"

coloured fonts should only be allowed as headers - to better define paragraphs and subsections of a post
