zaquierming Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Has anyone noticed that any time someone rags on poor grammar, they make a grammatical error themselves? It happens so often; the irony is actually getting tiring. Seriously, I have to watch my words here so that I don't do it myself. On topic: I usually take a look at everything. I'll look at something that I know will be well presented based on it's author first, though. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

assassin_696 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 A combination. If it looks like an interesting topic i'll read it regardless of poster. Or if i'm unsure about the topic but I respect the poster i'll look at it anyway. Like this one.

____ Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Better mention that I start with who posted, then topic title. So if it looks interesting but I don't know the person who started it - it'll wait till I'm done with other topics from people I'm familiar with.

darkmage099 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I generally just look at the topic. I do not bother with the topic started. When I actually open the topic, I look at how it is written (briefly). Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar!

deloriagod Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I pretty much do the same thing as you Cad. I know who to look for intelligent posts from and when I see their posts I read it over well and try to take it in. But when I see someone I know doesn't have such a great intelligence level, I'm more likely to skip their post unless I am truely interested. SuziAngel mentioned the grammatical snobbery around here. I'll admit I can be a grammar Nazi at times but I won't be a jerk to someone if my own grammar is slipping at that time (though I always try to post with good grammar so it usually doesn't slip much).

Nadril Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I generaly end up looking for both. If its a smart person I know than I'll open it expecting a good topic, but if its the likewise and the poster is less than average on inteligence I'll simply look at it for the humor value. And if its a poster I don't know I'm in a for a suprise. :lol: However, topics that intrest me will get me first usualy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktorkrum77 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 For myself, i'm a bit of both. If I see a name that I know is intelligent, i'll diligently read the original post. Alternatively if the topic interests me but I know the poster is a moron, I merely skim it and/or interpret it how I see it. Call me prejudice, but if someone is going to make a topic on a subject with little to no knowledge, it's not a fantastic start, is it? Ditto. However I don't know why I'm on this thread. The poster is one of those 'lack of intelligent' ones. :P I keed I keedThat phrase stolen from Nadril. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intarweb Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I'll read the thread no matter who started it - but I don't pay attention to many posts that I don't recognize the poster of. Like, I pretty much just skimmed the first page and a half of this thread. You crampin' my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolgool Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I mainly look at the title of the topic, if it interests me then I'll probably read it. If it doesn't look particularly interesting, but the topic starter is someone good, like Cad, Deloria, or Issy (There's more, but I'm not going to name them :P) I'll be more likely to read it.

MyPurpleCrayon Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I normally look at the author of the poster, because I try to stay away from our obnoxious users like Issy and Vickie. But if the title really intrigues me, then I'll open it up. Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

Faux Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Topics. I don't care about the threadstarter. I care more about the replies on that thread because sometimes, TIF surprises me. They can make a decent discussion out of a crappy thread. But too bad that's the minority recently.

How2PK Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I read most things, don't really select on TS. Maybe I read topics by specific users earlier than other ones. I tend to skip topics about religion and politics. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

indy500fan Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I look at the topic title. I don't know who the author is until I look at the first post. Unless the title is stupid, in which case I'll look at author and amount of replies. If there are very few, usually I click on it in order to report it.

Sir_Alex85 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I read whichever topic titles catch my attention, regardless of topic maker. Of course, there are some people on this forum I really dislike, or disagree with constantly, and some I do like or agree with more. I try to stay open minded. I read it to voice my opinion. Even if the introduction post isn't that well thought out, as long as I have an idea of what they're saying, I'll voice my opinion. ;P It really has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
