Thanks for the watch/fav

[Smelge]

I'm not going to even show this new watcher the courtesy of a bit of return attention. Instead I shall pretend they don't even exist. Because fuck them.

[russetwolf13]

I hate people who double post instead of using the edit button.

You also hate a lot of things Mr full of hate.

One day I will stop being merely full of hate and it will consume my body entirly. I will BE hate!

[Smelge]

I don't see much hate. Just a lot of talking out of your arse. I assume that updating your previous statement to encompass these new facts, you will stop being full of anus, it will consume your body entirely. You will BE anus.

[russetwolf13]

Wha...who uses an emoticon in an argument?

Far, far, far more people than you'd think. Mostly on dA though, here people are so passive aggressive they block you the moment you seem like you're not agreeing with them. dA, at least it seems, a lot of people don't know how to block users yet.

It wouldn't surprise me if people block you for as Smelge said "Talkin' out ya anus"

Or you could pretend to give a shit by reposting the same garbage everyone, on every art site since the beginning of the fucking internet has reposted billions of fucking times, because you couldn't be assed to even whack blindly at a keyboard in your attempts to be loved by everyone, everywhere. Because your parents didn't love you enough.

Maybe we should all stop saying thank you to people who hold doors open for us, allow us to cross the street, bring us things we ask for because like, we say it every fucking day since life began man.

I've been blocked for every reason there is to be blocked, including that.

[Randy-Darkshade]

and you're still not smart nuff' to use the edit post button, cause if I hadn't just posted you would have double posted, again.

That would be kind of hard to attempt, seeing as both of my parents died when I was a kid. But sure, let's carry on being a dick about the person with no parents. Yes, yes it's because they didn't love me enough before they died. They didn't love me when they took their last breaths in a stinking fucking alleyway.

Okay, real world examples, we can do that dance.

Imagine, if you will, every time you meet someone they say, "hello, nice to meet you". Seems nice, but we're translating this from the internet, where tone and inflection don't exist, individual voices don't even exist but we won't go that far. So imagine that every time someone says, "Hello, nice to meet you", it is exactly the same as the previous time someone said it, no difference in inflection or tone, exactly the same every single time.

New person at work, someone new walks in the door, random people you meet at the mall, everyone says the same fucking thing, every time. At best it's annoying, at worst, which it will get worse with repetition, it's fucking horrifying. No variation, ever, no matter who or what you are interacting with.

Or hell, what if they just said thank you for everything, screw the rules I set up, what if everyone said thank you, for everything, ALL OF THE TIME REGARDLESS.

Kinda loses it's meaning after a while, it becomes a verbal tick, it's less than meaningless, comprende?

Become a hermit and all your sad problems will be solved.

thing is, even irl the same questions and phrases all have a similar tone, 9 times out of ten if someone says thank you it will be said in a more happy tone, unless it's being said sarcastically because someone didn't do something. So technically they carry the same tone each time it's said, it's just said verbally.

[Serbia Strong]

ITT: Op is the grinch and hates nice people.

thanks for the watch

Does that change the fact that it becomes meaningless. It's like if you told a girl you love her. That would be important, right? Unless you said that to everyone. If the most common thing to come out of your mouth was "love you", then it wouldn't exactly have the same impact. Or if it were just the same girl and you said it a million times to her, every day, just "I love you!" "love you" "see you tomorrow, Love", it becomes repetitive and loses all meaning.

That's why when you want to create a character who's words have meaning, then you make sure he doesn't talk all the damn time. You make him silent, or cut out a certain line of comment from his dialouge. If he never praises anyone, and then he says, "Good work" then holy shit, it means something when he finally says it.

.... I see- *REDACTED*

For someone who appears prone to becoming needlessly enraged, you sure don't seem to mind double-posting.

What you seem to be saying is that people shouldn't bother showing gratitude because showing gratitude is too common. Which doesn't make any sense. What this really about is that you've adopted a very specific set of social conventions when it comes to sites like FA and get pissed when other people don't follow them.

Okay, I'll bite, what double-posting? Haven't done it once from what I can see. I can't correct what I can't see.

And what I'm saying is everyone repeats themselves! Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over-

Are you getting annoyed by this yet? Because I haven't even started, this isn't even the tip of the motherfucking iceberg. If I get started now maybe I can show you a fraction of it before the year is up.

You wanna know what I do when I get a Fav, or a watch? Cause I'm perfectly fine with thankfulness, in fact I'm more than fine with it. Just STOP FUCKING REPEATING YOURSELVES!

[Onnes]

Okay, I'll bite, what double-posting? Haven't done it once from what I can see. I can't correct what I can't see.

Instead of posting three times consecutively, combine them into one post using the edit button. It's against forum rules here to post double or triple post.

-snip-

I can't figure out what, aside from mindless rage, is so awful about people expressing gratitude in the typical manner using the English language. You've developed a bizarre aversion to what many consider appropriate etiquette on a particular website, and you have no way to justify it outside of personal preference.

[Serbia Strong]

So did OP become loony or what?

[Smelge]

I used to go to a persons page when they watched me, read it, look through their gallery and write a personalised thank you, maybe bringing up a relevant subject that was of mutual interest.

Of course, wankstains like the OP here pretty much make it a fucking minefield, so it's easier to just not bother being polite than risk getting some fucktard sperging at you for using common fucking courtesy.

[JArt.]

So did OP become loony or what?

Why yes, quite loony indeed.

[Heimdal]

It's only annoying when one person is spamming themselves to the same audience. If a bunch of people say the same thing, it just means there's a common pattern, or it's a coincidence. If they're all saying the same nice thing, that's a rather good event.

What are the odds that everyone is fake, or lying, if they are all saying the same thing? A whole lot less.

[Ozriel]

I feel that the comment "Thank you for the watch/fave" is like an auto-programmed "grats" when you get a repetitive achievement for reaching level 10.. After awhile it becomes repetitive. I do say thank you/you're welcome sometimes in the event of watching someone or maybe a favorite, but the act itself gets meaningless.

[greg-the-fox]

Who fucking pissed in your cornflakes, OP?
Protip: Just because you watched someone doesn't mean they owe you shit. They're not going to draw free art for you or become your best friend. You sperg furries need to get this through your thick skulls. The contempt you have for us artists is unbelievable and you people treat us like doormats. Even when we simply show our gratitude for appreciating what we do it's not good enough.
