Apologies if this thread has been posted before, but searches yielded no results.

What's the most annoying thing you catch yourself doing when posting in DS&T?

I, probably along with most people, can at times lose my cool when people argue around in circles, and when the same things have to be explained over and over. I also have a bad habit of trying to maintain a discussion with people who don't seem to have any intention to discuss anything at all, often leading to flames, as some people will misconstrue curiosity and benefit of the doubt as being stubbornness.

What are yours?

I hate it when people quote Fox or CNN and then try to tell me thats all the proof i need. The enquirer holds almost as much credibility with me because at least they dont claim its all true.

I still think I can change someone else's opinion about some important issue just by talking to him.

stupid me.

Using facts and explaining yourself are hardly useful here in DST.

Yes, shame on you.

Ehh just losing my cool. I'm never gonna argue on the inernahts any more. I've realized arguing out here is like wrestling a pig in the mud, eventually you realize the pig is enjoying it.

Sarcastic fanatism, a tendency to resort to archaic writing and draw examples from long forgotten history.

Exaggerating my point of view in an inflammatory and condescending tone in order to rile people. It's also my best trait.

KEN-JENNINGS: I am all that is MOD!; +2,982|6918|949

I am a condescending elitist. Sometimes I have a chip on my shoulder about people who try to act like they know what is going on in a particular situation when they really have no idea. I can't stand a lack of analysis or in depth comprehension.

I talk down to a lot of people here too. I probably delete or edit about 50% of posts a few minutes after I read them because I realize I am being an asshole. Trying to work on that.

I tend to miss out some information that is posted before, or post an opinion to a part of the question, but not address the entire debate... I tend to go on debate-tangents if they seem more interesting...

I do not post often enough. I visit regularly, but post seldomly. Sometimes it is because I realize that my response may be belligerent, which is common here, but I rarely do so myself.

I also have a tendancy to make an ineloquent or difficult post, one that confuses others of my view.

As a mod I change all of your post to make you sound like idiots... .

Seriously, I need to preview my post more often. Grammatically I sound like retarded chimpanzee when I post late at night.
