(no subject)

I used to find it annoying when my flist would pile up with people "announcing" the same thing, but at least there was generally some variation in the wording of the posts, and you could hang around and find arguments or jokes in the comments. (Poor Steve Irwin.) It's infuriating on Twitter though. All these isolated one line things saying NOTHING. Also nothing makes me want to be a vile specimen of humanity more than people chiding me to be good. Whether it's being told to "play nice" on anonymous comment posts, or being "reminded" not to make jokes that other people don't want me to make because they are determined that somehow they can set the tone of the discourse. (Don't mention the stingray.)
