ARGH!

*screams in frustration*

So someone (A) posts an OT message in one of the communities I'm in. Someone else (B) points out the OT-ness. A denies it's OT-ness, because "it's about me, and I'm a member of this community." I kid you not. I step in and point out, in perfectly nice, understandable English, that it is OT, and that OT-ness is generally not looked kindly upon. A replies that geez, she'll delete it already, she's sorry for annoying me, it's only the second time, and some people take LJ way too seriously. I'm not touroughly irritated and snipe:

Please, don't flatter yourself. And don't pull that "there are more important things than LJ" crap, either. There are, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't stick to netiquette.

I'm merely pointing this out, since you didn't seem to gte it last time, when SEVERAL people have told you you were OT. And it may just be the second time in this community, but sine you're obviously unfamiliar with the concept of netiquette, and not that willing to learn, I will speak up about it.

And someone replies:

Ok......since you obviously invented the internet and know so much about Netiquette why don't you post what we should and shouldn't do.

why don't you also post what we should and shouldn't wear...

what we should look like, what we should belive in...

is it okay if i eat breakfast today, mommy? whine whine whine moan moan moan cry cry cry

hows that for netiquette?

So, what, asking for some fucking common courtesey makes me a control-freak and a nazi now? Argh! *breaks things* Idiots!

Yeah, you Nazi! Don't you know that everyone has the right to post whatever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want? (Unless, of course, you're posting to tell someone that their post is inappropriate. Then you're an asshole who should just shut up.) It's the Internet! Things like manners and courtesy are so outdated. Get with the program, you Luddite!

Grr.

If there are "more important things than LJ," why doesn't she go do them instead of wasting people's time with OT posts, then, eh?

qmlskgfjqzerj I swear, I'm about to just post "So, asking for some basic courtesey is too much, now? Wow, you must be such a joy to live with."

Must not let them provoke me.
