6. Unrecc'ed? Seriously? Why? This post takes no ideological stance.
Anyone unrec'ing this should be added to the list in the link. They're just as bad as the ones the list complains about.

12. Some people are just haters...
They don't care what they hate, they just hate.

Some people are stuck in third grade... you know, when you decide for some reason you don't like someone, and even when you don't remember why, you can't help yourself... the ad hominem attack is just so base, so brain stem...
