Three guesses which option I went for?!?

You forgot another one though which would have got my vote - 'I put people that annoy me on ignore, stay within the site rules and then the mods will leave me alone'. :D

You missed off the 'think that I am a needlessly self indulgent poster that requires constant reassurance that I am doing the right thing' option. That's the one I'd go for!;)

Trouble is:

1) you cant put mods on ignore :p
2) people can still quote the people who annoy you, and then you up seeing it anyway.
3) even people I like can post annoying\incorrect stuff

Damn that was supposed to be option 8

I went for #1:sneaky:


My advice would actually be that if this place is getting to you, then take a break in the real world and see how you feel about it in a few weeks, if you can stay away that long. Not that you seem all that inclined to listen to the mods...

1) true, but if you stay within site rules then we won't have to annoy you
2) again, true - no way round that I'm afraid
3) then politely disagree with them

:p

I wanted to vote "give it a rest FFS" but that option wasn't there.
