AIBU?

To want everyone to stop it with the crossings out?

If you have something to say in a post, can you please just say it, rather than doing the intensely annoying whispering-behind-your-hand crossing out thing? I wouldn't mind so much if everyone always used it correctly but people are using it for whole paragraphs of pertinent information. It's not an effective replacement for wit.

AIBU?

this is going to be a whole paragraph that says absolutely nothing and means absolutely fuck all, and gas no bearing on anything whatsoever, and I might just start typing random words like duck and elephant, maybe even yellow. I might not though

Although people who cross out every word individually like this give me the jitters.
