Time to step back

I have got to take a break from OT now. I find myself being extremely annoyed by one of the newer members of the community, and it's ridiculous to allow someone I don't even know to annoy me. I mean, it's not like I *have* to read his stupid, inane comments, but I do read them, and then I'm annoyed. So when something as stupid as someone posting absolutely useless commments for no other reason than to increase his/her DAW level is bugging me, it's time to step away from the computer.

Smooches hon. Hope you'll still visit us in the bar!

I know the feeling. I have a feeling it's the same person who is annoying me. As well as one male poster who lately is getting on my nerves. He's a semi newbie. Not that that matters. I've was around a little bit this weekend and the little bit that I was around I was rolling my eyes at both of these posters. Maybe stepping back for a bit is a good idea. We'll see if I'm able to though. Heh.

Jen said...

Does this poster happen to have a screen name very similar to my nickname?

arkie said...

Why, yes, Jen, yes he does. How did you guess? Was it because I said his comments were stupid or because I said they were inane?

Bravie said...

There's a poster with a name similar to "Poopooface"?
*runs from Jen*

arkie said...

Jen said similiar to *her* nickname, not yours, Bravie.

*runs from Bravie*

Bravie said...

Ohhhhh, I thought she said similar to YOUR nickname.
*runs from Arkie*

arkie said...

*tackles Bravie and tickles her*

Bravie said...

*pees in Arkie's blog*
And YES, it is too pee. *giggle*

momma said...

I'm confused. Although, this is nothing new.

*smooches* for Arkie

arkie said...

*points and laughs at Bravie for peeing on herself*

Bravie said...

Momma, there is a new poster of there who feels the need to bump week old threads with posts like "yeah, I agree". he also has bumped a bunch of show forum threads that are over a year old. He also felt the need to start about a page worth of threads in the help forum.
Fine if he wants to post inane posts in current threads but it is annoying when he makes those posts in threads that have long been dead. *rolls eyes*

Bravie said...

It's warm, so I can't dispute that it's pee this time. *snort*

Jen said...

It was the "posting only to up his DAW level" that confirmed it. He's been annoying me over on AI for quite awhile. I really really wish he hadn't found OT. *sigh*

:( :( :(

arkie said...

Ya know, Bravie, the other thing it could be would be warm, too.

Momma, not only does the poster do what Bravie mentioned, he also copies other people's comments.

arkie said...

Jen, I wish he hadn't found RTVW.

I really think it's funny that he seems to now consider himself a master sigpic maker, when just a few weeks ago, he couldn't even figure out how to load one onto OT, or how to add text to a graphic, etc.

Breezy said...

I can NOT wait until AI is over. Watching a person have a conversation with themselves and only themselves is annoying the crap out of me. If it was only one thread it wouldn't be so bad, but it's 3/4 of the threads!!!

Bravie said...

He was doing that in the help form, too. For a couple of weeks.

Breezy said...

This isn't him in AI forum. It's someone else and then the came back after banished person is still there too. Webby must be way busy.

Jen said...

Ah, yes Breezy the other person that annoys the crap out of me. So as not to confuse, I will name names. :)

The original post was about agman.
Breezy (I believe) is talking about zazzy. Zazzy hasn't graced us with his presence on OT yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, both of them irritate me to no end.

Breezy said...

That is correct. I will revolt if Zazzy finds OT. We'll have 15 threads on the front page that they posted and they're the only posting in them. It'll look just like the AI forum.

Jen said...

Come on now, breezy. I think you're exaggerating just a little bit. There are only 11 posts on the front page of AI where he's talking to himself, not 15. *giggle*

Jen said...

Arg! I just noticed what you meant by "the came back after banished person". I hadn't noticed that he had returned. *sigh*

Glowie said...

yeah. It sounds like it's time for a break. *smooch*

Debcapsfan said...

*smooch* When is your costume thing?
OT infuriates us all at times, I think.
I have to force my self to remember not all understand posting 101.

arkie said...

Deb, the costume thing is a couple of weeks away. I'm thinking I'm going to go with the Fairy Godmother idea you gave me. I just have to figure out how the heck I'm going to pull it together.

HistoryDetective said...

I can see where you are coming from on this, but I am actually more annoyed by the swarm of newbies who found it necessary to start an announcement thread to let us know that they are there --- and then they never participate in any other conversation ever again. I refuse to do the "Welcome to OT" stuff until somebody actually makes an effort to integrate into the community.

Puffy said...

You'll look beautiful as a fairy godmother!

I agree with HD.

It took me awhile, but I finally figured out you were talking about agman.
