Grandad.Malky Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I can imagine what you mean! Lets just say that you provided a very good description of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Lets just say that you provided a very good description of it. You mean the dinner ladies sorting out petty squabbles? I can't for the life of me imagine being that passionate about a football team. But that's just 'me'. I'm passionate about other things :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 What's the difference between a nit-picker and a troller? The Nit-nurse had a fine-toothed comb and Dettol. - Sometimes nit-picking tweezers, too. The troller has a line with at least one hook on it.

butterball Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 This is the worst site I have come across for nitpicking; it just makes for page after page of endless, unneccessary, droning on debate. I mostly come here at night because I've been having so much trouble getting to sleep lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly come here at night because I've been having so much trouble getting to sleep lately. There is a lot of it, I have to say. But my original point was, is that neccessary for healthy, lively debate? We've established that if everyone agreed with everyone else, it would be a very dull place! PS Butterball: Does it make you sleep better? :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think some people nitpick for the fun of it, they usually hold up the thread and generally get in the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think some people nitpick for the fun of it, they usually hold up the thread and generally get in the way It's the "I can post a better link than yours" arguments that irritate me. A lot of the time, the link is to some random blogger expressing 'his or her' opinion, and adds nothing to the debate. The "Tensions in the Falkland Islands" thread is a classic example. As far as I could see it degenerated into an argument about who has got what weapons and what their capabilities are. I lost interest in that debate quite quickly.

PS Butterball: Does it make you sleep better? :hihi: No definitely not, but I'd hate to live in a world where we all agreed with each other. I'd like to say it's that there's a lot of strong characters who are passionate about something here and have conviction for what they believe in but it's not like that. It's just people being deliberately awkward and critical for naff all reason. Yes, when I finally get to sleep I sleep like a log (good thing my babies sleep 7pm-7am cos I'm not used to waking up in the night now lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
