    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

    See, my problem is the opposite Fonz; I do know you, therefore this is an excuse to not read your posts.

    I try and read everyone's post. Unless it's really, really long. That's why I keep my posts short and entertaining.

    I read threads with funny titles or lots of replies ... or, if I'm bored.

    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.

    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 can barely read the name on that sig, so probably not very much.
