....which refer to previous posts or posters, but don't add anything to the discussion, e.g. "I agree with x", "What x said", or even "^^ This.". What's the point, other than to get your username on the screen or jump on a bandwagon? If you're going to the trouble of posting, why not contribute something? If someone's already said exactly what you think, there's no need to post! Aaargh!

I can't see the point in this thread just as much as you can't see the point of our replies!

PedlarsSpanner · 08/01/2014 21:56

Mooers you've kinda missed the point my angel

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 08/01/2014 21:57

I agree with X

TheBigJessie · 08/01/2014 22:52

I once read through a 27 page thread, just to see if there was someone who'd thought exactly what I wanted to post. There was, so I quoted them and said ^this underneath.

Mission accomplished!

BlingBang · 08/01/2014 23:34

"Even Bling"? - sniff!

Newt - BlingBling will do just fine, I'm due a name change soon anyway!

MoominsYonisAreScary · 08/01/2014 23:42

I would be happy if someone agreed with me

fuckinghatehim · 08/01/2014 23:52

It only annoyed me because when someone says I agree with x I then have to scroll up to see what it was that x said. It's why I quote the post I agree with.

PedlarsSpanner · 08/01/2014 23:56

What Moomins said

I agree with FHH at 23 52

ErrolTheDragon · 08/01/2014 23:59

I don't like the ^^ This thing because I prefer to have my posts newest on top.

seem to me like the equivalent of "End of." in a conversation.

That is why it bothers you, that is not the intention of someone showing reiteration of a previous posters thoughts, it just to show that you agree with their thoughts.

uncomfortablydumb · 09/01/2014 09:29

Cross post with, er, everyone Grin

TiggyOBE · 09/01/2014 09:52

If someone's already said exactly what you think, there's no need to post!

Yes there is. To find out how many people think a certain thing.

Buzzardbird · 09/01/2014 09:54

hmm Thanks new year :)

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 09/01/2014 10:31

ZingChoirsOfAngels · 09/01/2014 10:32

and I agree with Tiggy

SwimmingMom · 09/01/2014 10:35

I agree with you scarlet!

Shock Oops maybe you didn't like hearing that!

QuintessentialShadows · 09/01/2014 10:38

Yanbu.

I hardly agree with people. And if I do I won't admit it.
I also don't see the point in posting to say that someone Else is right...
