SwampD Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 1. The word "retarded". It's in thread titles. It's used to demean other posters. It's used to make other posters feel good about themselves. Just because you disagree with someone doesn't make them stupid or yourself superior to them; You just disagree. I'm a pretty smart guy and I know at times I can sound like a complete jackass. I have my own personal reasons for not liking it, but that is not why I am tired of it. It shows a complete lack of respect for someone else, and darn it, we're better than that. 2. Thread titles that make a statement...but there is a question mark at the end. Here are some examples. Trent Edwards Out for Chargers Game? Hit on Edwards dirty? Ernie Davis was drafted by Bills? Say it or ask it. Don't do both. I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Two things which I'm tired of: 1. People who start non Bills related threads on main board. 2. "Smart" people who post and do not have a clue about grammar and spelling. You did both of them in one post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy - there will always be punk no-it-alls on a message board, who feel they must slam someone on a post they don't like.

That's why I have been reading more than responding lately....it ain't worth the B.S. Spartacus, that's one of the main reasons so many people who were active back when I first registered no longer post here. Some lurk (like you), and others just don't waste their time.

"Smart" people who post and do not have a clue about grammar and spelling. You did both of them in one post. 1. Both are directly related to this board. 2. Spelling I'll give you(I just don't care). But other than the questionable use of a semicolon(sp?) there is nothing wrong grammatically. Well, you might want to go back and edit out "I'm done.". There, are you trapped?

ans4e64 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 And I'm sick of people crying over words. If you don't like to read certain words, then don't post or read on message boards (which are notorious for people trying to boost their egos). Of course there are things that are going to offend people, including me, but I'm not going to expect everyone to stop because I don't like it. If people don't want to be called retards or whatever offensive names that are being thrown around, maybe they should stop saying retarded things.

AlbanyBill Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 So what are you going to do? You can't shoot them. I would recommend making fun of them for misspelled words and poor grammar. If that doesn't work just tell them that whatever they are posting is retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
