Thread Name: BS: are libarys rubbish?
Subject: RE: BS: are libarys rubbish?
It's not the spelling, it's the inanity - the constant "Is xxx rubbish?" sort of thread that's posted more as a form of cyber-Tourette's than in a genuine search for an answer. If I really believed that John was interested in and could learn from the responses I might have a different opinion, but all I see is rather sad attention seeking of the 'Look at me, I'm zany, I am,' sort of fashion.
Such people - the sort of people who ask a question and don't give a toss about the reply, or who don't engage their brains before posting apparently random verbiage do rattle my cage.
It's not that his opinions are different from mine, it's just that they're not even fully-fledged opinions; they're the equivalent of someone in a pub lurching up and shouting through a haze of crisp fragments: "Seagulls! They're crap drivers, aren't they?" Once may be funny, but too often and it's maybe time to change pubs or have a quiet word with the landlord.
Perhaps it's a north-south thing. Perhaps it's just that I'm an intolerant stupid moany person. But if someone can point out to me the gnomic wit and subtle humour that I've clearly missed in the original post, I'll gladly stand them a pint of whatever it is John drinks.
Anyhap - it's probably better than I don't go near these sort of threads in future.
