I'd still take that over the Heretic/Starman-style snarling.
I don’t really get annoyed with many people on here and it would be really hard to rank people after the top 5 or 10. I’d say my biggest pet peeve is when people are vetting what I’m talking about by making me signal something a certain way and if I don’t, they are unable to get past it. I wouldn’t put that on any one poster and I also think it’s way worse in RL than here cause we already all pretty much have an idea on each other’s views.
Really? Not very comparable posters imo.
Both are gimmicks, yeah, but one gimmick is in presentation and the other is in substance. Other than saying "Hiya" at the beginning and "Sincerely" at the end, his post substance was usually very reasonable and not particularly ideological or partisan.
Personally, I never really got what about that annoyed people. He could be passive aggressive instead of active aggressive, like myself, in confronting bad faith or bigotry, but there's nothing wrong with that.
I mean, IGIT could talk more about different topics for sure but I never got much out of it. That’s not necessarily a knock on him, we just didn’t have good exchanges. With Rip, I usually could get a conversation cause he’d default to “I don’t know about that, Lead” which isn’t always bad but he’d do it every time.
