do obnoxious posters discourage you from posting?
 
this is a public poll

in order to ensure this poll does not turn out to be dull I have decided to make the results public

I noticed on another thread where someone wrote he was put off by some posters and rarely posted

I find this to be sad

what say you?

Is this a scientific poll...or can the regulars cock it up by voting that obnoxious posters discourage them? :lol:

Certainly not scientific

I am appealing to posters being honest and forthright if that is not asking too much?

The more obnoxious the more entertaining.

Once more, a new category is needed:

Do obnoxious pollsters put you off from voting?

What about a poll to decide whether or not passive/aggressive threads about other threads are worth posting in. I'd vote yes as they can be quite funny.

I quite like posters who come on for all sorts of reasons (travelling parrots, adoration for an immigration advisor etc) and then get the pip because nobody agrees with them, but I get a bit cross when posters come on to deliberately get up everybody else's nose. It isn't necessesary and there are quite enough everyday boring irritations in the world already.
