Prompted by another thread, but why do people come on threads to announce they've no interest in the subject, can't understand why the OP would bother starting such a thread, are bored with threads about this matter, have never heard of the person being discussed etc?

It's as if they think the OP has done something wrong. When actually all they have to do is click off the thread (or not bother opening it in the 1st place) if they've no interest. No one cares if you don't comment, we won't even notice.

Surely this whole thread is an exact example of what you're complaining about...?

If you don't think a thread/a comment, use those wonderful pointy things on the ends of your hands, and SCROLL ON BY.

^This - the irony of starting an entire thread to moan about this.....

I'll tell you what I do give a fuck about.

The definition of irony.

And yeah, I do suck lemons for a hobby.

It’s main character energy isn’t it? Everyone is the man character in their lives and some people haven’t twigged that everyone else is too…. And therefore think everything is there for their entertainment/relevance.

Brilliantly put!

I think you may be misunderstanding the point of this thread.

It's very, very odd. I've been here for years and it's always been the way as well, you'd always get someone saying 'this has been asked before' as if each question is only ever allowed to be asked once. Such a weird choice to comment on a thread you have no interest in.

Then some posters think- ah yes I should search the site to see if this exact same question was asked before, find a thread that does indeed deal with the situation, only to resurect a 15 yr old post - cue shrieks of ZOMBIE.

poor things only trying to be courteous.
