    Is it me, or speaking in the 3rd person IS ANNOYING
    I am sure there are alot of folks out there....
    But why do people some on here, refer to themselves and write their posts in the third person??:rage:

    I just find it rather annoying to try to read.. and tend to simply skim over the posts...

    Just sayin

    A good example of this in the sports world was/is Rickey Henderson.

    Also, being myself, BrandonsBalls thinks that, if it were possible to talk in the 4th person, Big Gunns would be the man to do it.

    Not sure about *people* as I have only seen it from one person. :)

    Seems that it occupies A LOT of space between people's ears and generates A LOT of fingers on keys, so I doubt it will end anytime soon.

    Does not bother me, and in all honestly I do not get why people (not just this thread - but all the other posts about it) get themselves whipped into a froth over something so inconsequential.

    It is all about agency.

    And I ignore everyone that does it. Big gunns was on ignore the very first day I saw it.

    It's annoying at first, but once you get used to it.
    Big Gunns has a lot of good information to share, just the way he does it is untraditional.

    I enjoy reading the posts by BG. He often has a good point and he obviously has a good sense of humor. I don't know, puts me in a better mood sometimes lol

    It isn't worth getting your underwear all bunched up over it :P

    Is it really important enough to waste your energy complaining about it? If the answer is yes then just use the ignore function. :rolleyes:

    believe it or not, some people write in third person out of requirement. All of my design reviews, reports, and labs must be written in third person or else they won't be accepted.

    The way I see it, it's a matter of personal preference. As long as your consistent with your style I'm cool with it.

    What is the point of such a thread? I often wonder why some people feel compelled to call out members on a public forum when they have an issue with the way they post.

    Drama maybe? I know drama is entertaining to some :rolleyes: but come on.

    If someone irritates you that much you have ability to put them on IGNORE so why not use this option instead :confused:

    It's the internet their are many different personalities some more originals then others and quite entertaining to say the least, where is the harm in that.

    If I have to chose between people who are originals and funny and people who complain, and are never happy....................guess who I chose? ;)............regardless I can't put anyone on ignore :cool:

    But yeah
