Here are a list of things that can only happen online that just piss me off to no end.
1. When someone emails me or posts on a message board or blog or chatroom or puts all the text on their website in ALL CAPS. ALL CAPS is hard to read. ALL CAPS comes off like you're screaming. ALL CAPS suggest that what you have to say is important. Also, if your grammar is shit ALL CAPS just highlights that sad fact. So, y'all know who your are. Death to ALL CAPS.
2. When someone just unleashes a multiple-question long-assed run-on sentence and concludes it with about 50 exclamation marks. If you can't take the time to ask your questions individually in a paragraph, then you will be forced to take the time to wait for my response, if I give one.
3. The next nuisance can only be illustrated:
Scene: Imagine irishred and angiekruger are having one of their usual flirty (and a bit raunchy) conversations on t-blurt...
irishred: hey beautiful
angiekruger: hello sexy
irishred: I need to ask you something important
angiekruger: go on
Attentionwhore: New post. Check it out.
irishred: hi Attentionwhore. I will in a min. So angie
angiekruger: yes, baby
Attentionwhore: New post. Check it out.
Attentionwhore: New post. Check it out.

Now, this happens almost on a daily basis on tblurt. This happens because someone doesn't want to take the time to develop tfriendships with fellow blogger and a steady readership but desperately needs the attention. The problem with this strategy is that the pay off, if any, lasts momentarily. People might click on the blog, but they may not come back because they remember you were the asshole that froze tblurt.
4. The cruel, petty and cowardly anonymous commenter. We've all done it - signed out and left a comment on a blog to let the blogger know how we really feel about them without having the guts to stand behind our words (sorry fotocali about that one time I said you were self-absorbed but conveniently forgot to sign in). However, some of us do it so often, it's like we're addicted to it. They get this high from slagging off some one knowing fully that they will never be able to track them down. They litter tblogger's comment boxes with four-letter words and laugh at their painful admissions of past mistakes and failures. They receive a thrill when they realized that they have gotten under the skin of their target. If you admit to being hurt, they know they've got a target for life. So what do you do? You restrict your blog to requiring a password or you get rid of your comment box altogether or you write long and angry posts telling them in 2500 words to dive off the 50 foot platform into an empty swimming pool. You ignore them. You make a list of suspects and one by one, read their blogs and leave telling comments in the hopes of outing the evil-doer. None of it works. Your blogging experience is forever soured. Why do these little demons have to ruin the fun for all of us? Why? Why doesn't tblog develop a frickin' setting that only allows people who are logged in to comment? Why? Whatever.
And finally,
5. In this day and age of immediate gratification, overnight delivery, drive-thru, 1-hour photo, DSL and computers so fast that a Ferrari would be jealous, some people take 6-7 weeks to respond to a one-question two-line email, asking a question no more complicated than "Is your dick still attached?" Hey you! You know who you are. Look down between your legs, cop a feel if you must, adjust yourself and send me a friggin' email. K? Thanks.
This has been a transmission by Nat's Inner Bitch. Please don't push my buttons. You won't like me when I'm angry.

I'm following Angie's lead. You can't see me, because, well, this is the Internet and I don't do webcams. But woo hoo anyway!

If TBlog restricts it to sign-in users only, I will not be able to post to your site. You wouldn't want that, would you? Apart from that, you're right on the money with everything. I didn't realize you guys *had* a tblurt chat client. Yikes if that's the kind of behavior you get in there.
And, for what it's worth, no, my penis is no longer attached. That's why we are not able to marry. I thought I explained it to you?

No worries, love. I'm sure you made a bigger difference than that. I guess if you must give criticism, do it nicely without malicious intent and sometimes it's received with an openmind. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
on you!

Ahhhh...and the fact that it took you two comments to get your message across says volumes. Thanks for the pointless anonymous comment to further make my point. I am indebted to your retardedness. Hehehehe

hugs to Nat*
I feel your pain. Although I must admit I recently committed #4. I clicked a link to a "recent blog", and it was all that crap CAP TYPING and mispelling things different and neverending LONG SENTENCES (typed in caps)
So I.... signed out, and told them it wasn't cute, it looked like shit, it made them out to be a 12-year-old-retarded-AOLer, and they'd get a lot more readers if they just learned to type properly (not quite in those words, I tried to be as nice as possible and sound like I was genuinely concerned..)
I was trying to help, really I was. Hey, if I can save ONE poor soul from being sucked into that garbage type, I've made the world a little better, right?
Anyway, the person actually listened and addressed my comment on a subsequent post, and said she'd try better because she wanted more readers (including me).
So now I think, the world is 0.00000000000000(pretty much "0" times infinity)1 % better!!!!!!!111!1
