Especially when the same picture is used again.

So, respond with another picture.. but I won't respond. I give you the last word and then this thread hopefully can get back on topic. Thanks.

So would a "Screw you, I'll post whatever I want" reply to Prototype's first post been better? I didn't really think the picture was that funny, but I didn't feel like typing "stop policing the internet."

What actually derailed this thread were the people coming in to complain about the posters bashing Dane Cook. The bashers would've just said their piece and left.

If one person writes it, I don't mind... if the rest of CP wants to say the same thing, there's a thanks button... awesome. But 3 of the first 10 posts in this thread were actually about the original topic, and the rest were peoples negative opinions. Where was that asked for?

It's the internet. People are killing time and trying to stir up discussion. Look at the Kennedy thread for further proof.

Not trying to convince you that you should like Dane Cook, just trying to say that I, and others here know that people don't like him... We get it. Those who want to go see him, and went into this thread have to cut through the crap to get information about the original topic.

Don't you think threads would be pretty short and bland if that was all they contained?

First post: "Dane Cook is coming to Calgary...<insert details>"

Second post: "Awesome!"

Third post: "Wicked!"

Fourth post: "OMFG! I WANT HIS BABIES!!!"

What's the point of that? I also don't see how any of the "He's a ######" posts impeded your ability to retrieve the details in the OP.

But it happens with Nickleback, Coldplay, John Mayer, etc... So I'll get off my soapbox, and maybe start using the ignore function.

It happens in every thread. It's called discussion. I could post a thread about how awesome ice cream is and which brand is my favourite. Someone would inevitably show up and bash my favourite flavour and tell me how unhealthy ice cream is.

EDIT: At least we didn't go "Youtube comments" on this.
