    Hmm, what gets my goat? I think I bbq'd my goat ....woops :oops: lol

    It takes a lot to get me worked up, I'm pretty docile.


    And on a side note:
    Bad-one finds great amusement when reading Big Gunns posts. Bad-one likes Big Gunns. ;)

    1. People who don't even attempt to use the search function or try to find information on their own first (the spoon-feeding thing).

    2. People who do nothing but antagonize others.

    Those are the big ones. There are others, probably, but these are the ones that come to mind right now.

    Oh...one really big thing that gets under my skin....probably faster than anything else....

    ...is when some folks make off-the-wall wild-assed assumptions about the staff's reasons or motivations behind some of the decisions we make or actions we take around here. Stuff comes out of left-field that has absolutely no basis in reality, but is spoken as if it is some sort of absolute truth. When the integrity of the staff is openly questioned for no other reason than because someone doesn't like something we said or did.... :no: Yeah....that'll get me revved up. :irkd:

    Heh,

    Somedays nothing, somedays everything. :cool:

    It seems to be tied in some mysterious way to my whisky/sleep quotient. :confused:

    Like almost everyone else I asked all the noob questions and argued with the responses so I try really hard not to let that one get to me. :oops:

    Sometimes the way something has been worded in a persons post can cause me to rain down terrible celtic curses on their ancestors haircuts but at that point I try to take a break before actually trying to post anything.

    I find it cuts down the number of rewrites. :taz:

    Misunderstanding someone, or being misunderstood, is probably the most frustrating thing I find about forums in general though.

    come on you know its always been staff vs members around here, we all know that you just go around and delete and re-write post so when we go back and read it everything looks in your favor. ;)

    Re: What gets your Goat on the forums?
    -People getting off topic and arguing
    -People not answering a question someone asked, but rather blabber on about something else - that doesn't help the OP at all
    -Negativity towards one another
