...to find 'discuss' really irritating?

[Justmuddlingalong]

Or am I the only one it gives the rage to?

I was always better at javelin. They never gave me the rage though.

You mean when people write a post and order you to "discuss"? That irritates me too. Makes me want to go

SHAN'T

In what context?

On here challenge on the thread in question of course

Arf Tiggy

TAAT?

Not a TAAT, just a general musing.

You mean like stating their view and then finishing with 'discuss' like a sixth form essay question? I've never seen that on AIBU but it does sound like the height of twattery.

naughty naughty a taat

no does not bother me I can make the choice to or not

Someone started a thread with it in the title earlier.

I just wanted to reply, fuck off you twat.

It's up there with 'talk to me about / tell me about'...

YANBU

It pisses me off. It's like being spoken down to, like a school child.

COME tell me about

Grrr...

Did it get pulled, I can't see any with that in the title?

It really pisses me off when posters do that.

The one that gives me the rage is when someone puts 'Reader' in their post

'And yes reader I did go back the following day'

aaaarrggghh

Oh I don't mind a well deployed 'discuss' once in a while.

To be used sparingly though.

The Op in that thread did say all she had been doing was marking essays recently. I think ths TAAT IS a bit harsh ...

Yes, I hate 'talk to me about'

You would never say that to someone in real life. Without getting punched, and often.

In no circumstances could the deployment of a 'discuss' be acceptable on here unless it was an ironic deployment. Discuss.

Reader, I married him.

WE DONT FUCKING CARE.

I'm on the warpath tonight

I think it's only lazy journos that do that, isn't it?
I can't be arsed to post on their threads.

discuss.

NAW!

Ending a comment with 'Simples'. That's the catchphrase of a anthropomorphic meerkat, it has no place in serious debate.

Doesn't bother me at all.
