Ok is it just me that finds it completely irritating to see to see posters to include [sigh] in their posts.

It reminds me of a petulant child

I disagree OP

It can be so wonderfully passive agressive

I luffs* a bit of passive aggression, me

But it isn't as good as a well placed :)

Oh I often include a sigh or a shrug - helps get my point across Grin

And sometimes I even include a LOL or a xxx.

I use [sigh] and [shrug]

It is quicker than typing 'I have already posted this twice and in language a toddler with headphones on and his eyes shut would understand but you are either fucking thick or out for a fight so I will try just once more. A bit grudgingly' and 'it's alright. It doesn't matter that much'

Or sometimes I am just posting about personal stuff and feeling fatigued or trying to brush off a glum post.

So context matters really.

Totally agree there.I don't know why FFS gets to me. Gawd knows, I think it.

No, no "fucking" or "loser" in OFCOL. Much less aggressive
