I've recently developed this weird irrational hatred for users who end their posts with their nicknames. I don't even understand it. It's like me and my intuition having a conversation:
Intuition: hey, see that guy with his nickname at the end of the post? Hate him. Me: but... why?? He hasn't done anything wrong (or so it seems). Intuition: shut up and trust me Me: ok, if you say so...
So can anyone explain it to me? In case you've forgotten how it feels like, here we go:

It makes people feel special...These people are certainly not special..

Am I helping?

For some reason, I hate you right this very moment.
Also, I think it's less required these days, except for work/formal electronic exchanges. In a forum it's totally silly. I think the last time I did it on a normal basis I was using 2400 kbps modems to connect to Renegade system BBSes.

Because its obnoxious and its the wrong formalities in the wrong sort of place.

There used to be a guy on Usenet who STARTED every post with his name, and would do it multiple times if quotes were broken up. Typical post would be:
Alex:
blah blah
[quoted text]
Alex:
But blah blah blah.
-- Could be worse.
Yours, Mothra

I guess I know what you mean.

You need to get together with this guy and talk it out.
Bottled-up hatred can't be good for you in the long term.
|
I completely agree with you. It's stupid

It's much worse when people sign their posts with your name.

-Cheerio I agree with you, but don't you think it's annoying when people get your name wrong on forums? What do you think of that, The_Templar?

Agreed, but unlike everyone else I'm not going to sign this post like a jackass.

Remeber there was a guy few years ago who would end his posts with a photoshopped image of his nick filled with lens flare effects?
It lasted for 2 or 3 posts only, though.
