What is Ming's BIGGEST Pet Peeve?
In other words, what do you think irritates him the most?

Though all of the choices are definate pet-peeves for Ming (as far as I'm concerned) ... I had to vote for "Spam." After all, combating spam posts is a full-time job in it self!

I just thought it would be interesting to see what Ming has to say about it and what other posters think.

I voted Spam + Baiting a mod.

Just look at the whole shenanigan with Asher and UR. And look at how swiftly Asher was dealt with.

I voted for all of them, though #3 probably wouldn't be one of them. He doesn't seem to care about club threads either, or I haven't noticed.

For obvious reasons he has no beef against advertisements

Actually, I'll guess the one that bothers him the most is not even on the list. Attacks on a person's family.


And Skanky, I thought it was rah too. (at least till I thought about it for two seconds)
