Plus one.

[blindswelledrat]

If someone says something that you agree with, there are one or two logical options as follows:

1)Quote them and say- yes, I agree with that
2)THink to yourself "I agree with that. Ive nothing more to add so I won't bother posting"

EIther are equally acceptable. Either express your agreement to verify thier opinion or don't.

WHat is not acceptable, and is in fact downright moronic is to quote them and type "+1"

It is a fking ludicrous thing to do. Totally meaningless. YOu cannot add a number to words. Maths doesnt work like that.

Can you people who do this just learn something from this thread:

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE ON PISTONHEADS HAS DONE SOMETHING- IT DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO IT TOO.

Let alone doing it at every opportunity every hour of every day.
Stop it at once.

I repeat: You cannot add a number to a word. It is totally nonsensical.

The End.


Edit: ANyone who types "+1" as a response to this thread is as unfunny as the people who do it for real. TOo predictable. 0/10 for originality.

Note my edit as you typed that.

I add "+1" to statements because it's a quick and widely acknowledged way of showing my support for the poster's opinion.

Quite frankly I think if anyone is being pedantic and moronic it is you.

I dont care what you think because you think it is clever to type "+1".
If you are so lazy and so busy that you cant even muster the energy to type "I agree" then dont fking bother. Just revert to option 2.

Seemingly contradictory advice on correct forum posting there?

Well spotted. I even thought of that as I typed it.
Different though. Honest guv. "The ENd" just meant I'd finished as opposed to my opinion is the only one that will ever count.
Although it is, obviously.

But you aren't ... surely it is shorthand for saying "Add 1 to the total number of people who agree" .....

But if so-that it is even more absurd. Bizarre beyond the realms of comprehension.

Just imagine being donw the pub with your mates and this conversation occurs:

Mate: This reccession is getting fking boring
You: Add one to the number of people who agree with you.

Everyone would just look at you as though you were some kind of spastic.
Its not a good thing.

I'd have more sympathy with you if you weren't being so demanding

Pathetic Rant -0.5/10

Sorry- In never noticed I was doing it. I didnt realise I demanded so much of so many.


Although my next moaning thread is going to be about irrelevant rating of anger.

blindswelledrat, are you a mod for PH? It seems to me that you think you are the authority for this website!

Hit the report button, and place your concern there. Make sure you add what rule you think is being broken. Do this enough times and we may see you binned and an end to your self imposed rules.

YOu are so boring that even your mother doesnt talk about you

And how would people look at you if you walked through the door of a pub and started laying down the law to all and sundry as to how conversations in that pub should be conducted?

WIth enormous reverence, fear and respect.

[blindswelledrat]

IN my defence (not about the spastic- cant defend that) normally my rants are agreed with on the whole.
In this case I appear to be in the minority so I shall accept that it is my own hang up and move on.
Perhaps start doing it myself to fit in better

YEs, you are a true authority on PH. YOu have resorted to petty insults. HOw you can even raise a concern on PH is beyond me when you resort to that.

By the way, you need to learn how to use an apostrophe.

How stupid do I feel now. I forgot an apostrophe in a sentence.
What a cretin I am. Good job you are around to point out other peoples grammar errors.
Bravo clever Damo

[blindswelledrat]

Jesus, Silent 1.
THat is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me or about me.
I feel a warm glow all of a sudden.
I'm not certain you're right mind you, but it has given me tears of joy all the same.

I wouldn't, i'd piss in your scampi fries.

Bacon fries. Im not a gay.

You'd actually get your cock out in the middle of a pub full of blokes, then relieve yourself over a plate of food.

Wowthatsgay.

Since when did scampi fries get served on a plate? Do you live in Epsom or something?

I bet they serve a packet of walkers crisps with a side salad where you live too.

-273

Why did you type "-273"?
DO you somehow think that because it is a larger negative integer it would somehow be funnier than the six thousand other variants of exactly the same gag already used on this thread?
Did you hope that somehow this added an hilarious new edge to the gag "-23" or any similar.
I am afraid it doesn't and, but for my comment, would have passed completely unnoticed.

It's a perfectly valid means of expression. Similar to nodding were you in a group/pub type enviroment.
.

Ive already acknowledged being in the minority, however typing "+1" is absolutely nothing like nodding agreement in a pub.
It is like saying the words "plus one" in a pub which I still deem to be insanity

The smiley to the left of these words is the same as nodding agreement in a pub.
"+1" : The mathematics to the left of thise words most certainly isn't.

I think it's because it's approximately "Absolute Zero" in degress centigrade? Though I could be bestowing the poster with more perspicacity than he actually has.

Actually thats exactly why I posted it.

THen I take it back.
WIsh I had used that rant on one of the other 6000 variants of it that were less clever.
Well done

Ah so it's just the mathematical angle then?

If people started typing : yes : instead, you'd be happy? (Well, as happy as you ever are, anyway)

Completely.
Anything as long as it is words and means what it is intended to mean.

Wind your neck in. No one really cares about your rant.

6 Pages say they do, and that one way or another some entertainment has been had.
Yet prior to this thread I have never noticed a single one of your 1000 posts. You are a total nonentity, the sort who uses the phrase "wind your neck in".
Now shush before I fall asleep.

CHeers. I had to acknowledge this as my pre-emptive reply will look absurd if it never reaches 6 pages.

Please go to sleep. You really are a crushing bore.

Coming from the sort of person who feels the need to post his exam results after a post to somehow ingratiate himself with, and validate his opinon to a bunch of complete strangers on the internet.
And whose fovourite comeback to any kind of insult is "I know you are, you said you are but what am I?"
