I find myself doing this a lot lately. It's normal when people use invidious styles of grammar, but now I seem to discredit things simply based on the person's popularity.
Do you find yourself doing this unwillingly?

No, I always read all of the posts.
But that won't stop me from thinking that you're an idiot anyways.
I'm more likely to read a post by someone who's internet personality I know better :p
See, my problem is the opposite Fonz; I do know you, therefore this is an excuse to not read your posts.Quote:

Ah, you give me to much credit.Quote:

I don't read posts made by idiots.
See, when Bunny responds to a post to call out its stupidity, he doesn't read it first. He can sense the fail reeking from the post, and reacts to that instead. There is no need to waste the time to read it.Quote:

If it's on the way down I'll read it, but sometimes miss a couple of pages if it doesn't immerse me enough.
I only know who has written a post if I recognize their signature.
I usually skim anyways
I wonder how often Rubah's thought I was Smitten?
I can barely read the name on that sig, so probably not very much.
Well put your glasses on women! :mad2:
It's my seventh sense.Quote:

Once I have started reading a thread, I will generally read all of the posts in it. I may skip really long posts that don't interest me, but for the most part I don't skip anything.
Is this your sixth?Quote:

i don't not read posts made by people i don't recognise, i just enjoy reading posts from prominent members more because i have an idea of what they're like, etc.
That's me as well. It's a bit counter-productive, but I'm not all that interested in getting to know new internet people anyway.Quote:

I don't discriminate in any way with regards to users when I'm reading a thread - at least, I don't think I do, anyway! However, there have been occasions that I'll disregard posts based on how long they were.
EDIT: So pretty much the same as what eest said.
I tend to read whichever posts are new in specific forums, but I do not read based on popularity of people. I've been here for a long time and that is the way I have always done it.
Now that I look at who has responded in this thread, I recognise all but one of them so it would be hard to find posts to skip if I did this. xD
But BoB, if you recognize all but one person. You should automatically filter out those people that you know repeatedly give poor and/or excessively long postings.Quote:

And as for poor posts, I read them anyway if they're short, as it doesn't take long and I can always warn them if they're spam.
Fair enough.Quote:

The one person was Vermachtnis, actually. :p I recognise you well enough.
EDIT: Wait, I was wrong! I thought you were another Setzer (Setzer Gabianni). =x My bad!

The only post I read is the first post, and any post that has me quoted in it.

Yep.
Also, I try to post about things other than strawberries, so I'm not too predictable.
If I'm honest, I tend to read without even looking to the left to see who's written it. I know so little about people here that I see no point in knowing who wrote it until I've read it.
My thoughts exactly.Quote:
