Sometimes, if everyone says the same thing, there's a good reason behind it.

Unofrtunately there were many people who couldn't tell a serious post from a joke at one stage..

This whole logic bullshit. I mean really whats so big about the whole thing. Wow you can prove things woopity doo. Now what would be a trick is convincing someone that your irrationality is more right than theirs. And most likely you'd try to do it through rational means. How absurd just like debating endlessly over the existence of a God/s. Which I find to be annoying. Personally, believe what you want but don't tell me about it or "let me know." If I ever care, I'll ask.
People like you annoy me.

People who blindly won't listen to anything else someone says, even if 40 people are telling them they are mistaken, and said 40 people have proof, and the 1 or 2 people have no proof besides thier opinions.
When half a board decides person A is really fucking annoying, and the rest of the board that deffends that he has a right to be an idiot, the original folks're just newbie bashing, and that they do it just to get thier kicks; even when moderaters have been telling person A to stop being such a fucktard. (I've seen it happen on like.. 4 boards. It sucks. )
Smiley overusers, and people who think they are cool when they use the evil smiley. And they usually don't just stick it in a paragraph, like this -> it's stuck onto the end of a post like ... well, I'll do it to mine.
People who only post how cool they are and how they know everything, and how they can't be wrong, and dude, I'm so cool and funny and blahblahblah... And oh my, I can't be wrong!
I hate that stupid fucking judge smiley. It gets overused WAY TOO MUCH. THE SMILEYS HAVE NO ARMS> THEY CAN'T SWING THE GAVEL, IT'S BIGGER THEN THEY ARE!@
AGH!!!!

I dislike it when people don't bow to evidence or the comments of someone with obviously superior degrees of knowledge. I have a lot of common knowledge about a lot of stuff, but in matters of aircraft and their armaments I will bow to Sage, in most military matters it's Cal and Sage, in legal matters it's Gyd, in computer matters it's usually Drys, for Guns I listen to Artt and Azizza,and so forth. These are people who have made or are making a career in it, or are such vocal advocates and hobbyists that their knowledge is as close to expert as you can find outside of profession. They'll know more and be able to answer my questions. Arguing against them is a fool's errand. But some people will do it anyway, and repeatedly at that. It's even worse when people post irrefutable evidence (not talking pie charts and such; I'm talking about arguing about how bombs or biological weapons work in that you're either right or wrong and it's not open to interpretation).
I get tired of the political bashing. Not the liberal/conservative thing, but look...there's a right and wrong way to make a dissenting opinion. Being an asshole about it is just aggravating. Likening people to Hitler and that ilk of argument is considered bad form in flame wars and arguments for a reason. Feel free to question, but don't be an asshole.
The whole "Foreigner angst against the USA" thing. I respect the opinions of nations on the USA. I really do. And I will admit that the American posters do say some rude things about other nations, and we give in to popular stereotypes (particularly about the Canadians). On the other hand, while our comments (usually) have cracks about foods and customs and matters of historical fact, it seems to me (and I may be biased) that some people just like to stick it to the American point of view by attacking our nation's leaders, policies, etc. Great way to educate us to give up our arrogant, swaggering, assholish ways. Oh? Not here to try and make things better? Then don't troll an American board. This isn't ALL foreign guests, but some.
Threads asking for advice on how to get women/why women don't like them/why they were slapped with a restraining order. I realize a good number of board patrons are in high school and college, and I would hate to scare them away, but if you're sitting around clicking "refresh" at Evercrest in all your free time, or using advice from single people who do, that might be part of the problem with your social life. The vast majority of people here with significant others learned social skills beyond those needed to get by in a message board. You will too. And this sort of thread inevitably brings out the misogynists ("women-haters" for the less linguistically-knowledgeable) who claim women are evil and torment men, the lecherous wannabe-sex-fiends who inevitably break down into their "guide for wannabe playas", and the inevitable counter-attack from women angered, people who like me are getting annoyed by the threads, etc. Nothing ever seems to get accomplished either, as for a while there it seemed like two weeks later or so, the same people were posting again about the same thing. Thankfully this trend doesn't seem to happen as much.

Okay granted, that was rather assholish of me. I got into rant mode there, I apologize. But it is a primarily American board...So folks who do say certain things logically know they're going to get snapped at or get a hostile response, which is sort of trolling, without actually living up to the brainless nastiness that "trolling" usually entails.

Aside from things previously mentioned, its little things that get to me, especially in spellings that have permanently gone wrong yet people don't notice. Like 'hehehe', is it too much to ask to add the extra 'e' to make it heeheehee? Or 'your' instead of 'you're'. Or incorrect use of apostrophes to make things plural, like calf's instead of calves. It may be because I'm an English major, but people should be taught this stuff in school.

hehehe isnt a word, nor is heeheehee.

I find myself using "to" when I should be using "too" if I'm not careful.

Word, sound effect, people mispell both. It's just that in common literature, and even in comic books, two e's are used. Online, lazy people regularly drop it just to save time in typing it, but really it'd take less than a second to add it in. He is a pronoun, not a sound effect!

I don't know, Az, I'm a teaching major with a concentration in English, I read many comic books, and I never see "hehehehehehe" written out. "Hee hee hee" is about all I do see, and even then it's usually in a modified tiny italic font to emphasize the furtive giggle. Would you like us to alter font and italicize? For a sound effect, in other words, I'm not going to complain.
I do get annoyed by the "your/you're" and "there/their/they're" thing, though. Homonyms always aggravate me. But I rein it in for board use because most people aren't as anal about it as I tend to be for my purposes.
