Look, they might be funny, sometimes i enjoy them my self, when they are new at least, but sometimes they are abused and are derailing the thread, for all who actually are interested for the topic.
(also the fact, that they represent, their posters, saddens me, i feel sorry for them and for me that i have to interact with such... boys, this is how they react in real life? i hope not, for they shake...)
Some ppl dont have endless time, when they come to this forum they want to discuss about specific topics.
For some this forum is smth beyond that, i respect that, but they have turned the whole forum into a popularity contest, or a circus/playground.
However by derailing a thread of a certain issue, they dont give the opportunity to the rest of the community to discuss about it.
In off topic threads, one can post for any irrelevant thing he likes.
But it has to be respected is that there is a time and a space for all things.
For ex, poor Bonucci is now under fire, he wasnt yesterday, hopefully he wont be tomorrow, we can discuss about irrelevant things, like the ass of the Higuain's GF, in another thread, we dont even have to join the juventuz forum to do that,
but there is only one moment and one place to discuss what Bonucci is going through now, the apropriate thread for him at Juventuz,
huge animated gifs, give lag to the forum and posts are lost between them.
Arguments are lost, the momentum is lost, not just for the aimed target and the trolls trying to provoke him, but for all.
Everyone has the right to ignore a post, but noone has the right to derail a thread...
