What type of post here at MR is most likely to push your button? Surely I have left out some likely possibilities. What are they? :)

You left out "Someone posting that you left something out of a poll."

You didn't mention complaints about the quality of free programs created by programmers working without pay on their own time.

When the term "sucks" makes its first appearance, no matter what the context, I stop reading.

Yeah, this poll sucks, it's not even multi-choice :)

Polls that don't let you answer the way that you really want to :).

Vivaldirules, you left something out of the poll. You forgot "Someone complaining about someone complaining about using Reader and eReader interchangeably"...

...and so on... ;)


I like caramel thickshakes. Is that an option?

I've got one. Someone who claims their newly purchased device sucks because it can't do something that it never claimed to be able to do.

People complaining that their device doesn't last 18 months on a single battery charge. I mean how far do most of us ever get from a power point for crying out loud. It is not a problem plugging in the kettle every time we want a cup of tea (coffee for the less civilized amongst us) so why is it such a big deal charging a reader every couple of days.

Did I mention I own an iliad?

This poll needs to be deleted so it can be remade so we can check multiple items. In order to give an honest answer, I need to check multiple items. But I cannot. So I cannot vote. I tried to see if it could be edited to be fixed, but it seems once it's made incorrectly, it has to stay that way.

You missed my favorite too: Someone who complains that all digital content should be online and free.

Would you mind allowing this thread to be killed so the poll can be done with multiple choices?

I love all of these! It's good to see people in such a playful mood. I also see another one I left out: Moderator editing my poll for his/her own amusement. :rifle:


EDIT: We wouldn't do that!

Great poll!! :popcorn:
Can you sort the Poll so it can be a multi-choice entry? Only one entry makes it useless.

I think I might just have to start a new thread so I can vote.

Jon, it says "most likely", not "ever." Have you got one or more items at the top of the list that are equally likely to push your buttons?

That being said, my choice isn't here either: Someone unable to respect any point of view other than their own (on any issue).

And reposting about it, ad nauseum, more and more loudly and rudely.

There are a few of them that fit the question.

Another one: Someone whose post is completely unintelligible but they don't seem to notice or care.:)

I think it's kinda funny that no one seems to have noticed that I did this.

Oh, Nate, don't worry. It's just that we didn't want to say anything, being as we're all now scareded of you:

I find the poll totals interesting. The two categories about DRM combined lead the pack, as I would have expected. But backlit eink complaints are a close second which is a bit of a surprise to me. Apparently you have not heard me rant against ebook piracy enough, yet! :)
