I chose other....
I hate it when people just speak about absolute drivel..
I mean you know?
That reminds me of a time when I went to the ice cream store.. and they didnt have any chocolate left! Its times like those when you have to scream, "Where is my EXLAX DAMMIT!" You know? I mean the way yellow jacket bees sting are much different than Mrs. Buttersworth's flaming bowl of chili... You know?

Anyways.. I was just kidding around above... but I do hate it when people just talk about absolutely nothing relevent to anything.

i voted for the short answers, because i dislike short comments of people that write only one sentence. only to have answered. (i may give an example: turnupto, sorry but why shouldn't i mention?) Often it is necessary to write some more lines. But the other exaggeration are too long messages (fieps?). most of the users don't have the patience to read that. Except of course these are stories and announcements...

I chose other. My pet peeve is people who look down on others for not playing the game, living the life?, as they reckon you should. Illarion is a Rolplaying game, but there are many roles and many ways to play them. Also people who are rude to others who ask reasonable questions. There are probably other things but I want to keep this short, but not too short. :D

i agree fully with ellaron the worst thing about these boards are the idiots who think they`re above everyone else and have to play and abide by what they see as roleplay. After all roleplaying is from the imagination of ones self not that of other people. If these idiots continue to persecute and shun others and try to dictate thier actions we will all end up like drones with no variety so i pick other.

I chose other, i hate it when there are too many spelling mistakes in posts which make it imposible to read. Too many smileys and caps are both annoying as well.

Yes I see what you mean but before you complain about other peoples spelling you should make sure yours is up to scratch.

I deeply, deeply despise people who use long lines of emoticons and similarily have no grasp of how to write correctly by typing silly abbreviations.

Eg-
"U" "cu" "pleez"
and so forth...

If you read what i wrote, you will see i said "i hate it when there are so many mistakes that it becomes hard to read"

you understood what i put, right? therefore your post is pointless..

I agree with you there Vindigan, the only spelling mistake in your post was as well, which should be aswell, I think. Smileys isn't a word either so you can't spell it right or wrong, and we all know what you meant by it anyway so the fact it is not a word doesnt matter, I fail to see why James posted what he did. It seems rather rude.
