he was obsessed with his sacred mission which was to convert all other people to atheism, thus "saving" them, I assume, from the folly of their ways. God, was he annoying. (Little Hawk)

You're so right, I know these types. They truly are annoying. Replace one word and you have a description of Georgiansilver.

Georgiansilver, it isn't annoying to me if you end a normal post with 'be blessed'. But it feels wrong, superficial and 'Look I'm better than you' if you for instance end a post to MG this way after he has called you names. In these situations it feels completely out of context.

It reminds me in these contexts of the newly trained too friendly salespeople I encounter over here since a few years. I walk in a shop just to buy a roll or whatever, still half asleep, don't want to talk to anybody I don't really know and then the Lady says "Good morning Sir, what can I do for you" and later "Is there anything else I can sell you...goodbye, have a nice day, come again soon thank you for your custom". It sounds artificial and trained and anything but genuine.

That's how you sound to me when you use the 'be blessed' in a context where I would expect a bit stronger words. I don't know whether the English language knows 'Pharisean' as an adjective. That's how you come over for me if you use the two words more or less independent of the context.
