In my time here I have read countless posts, wrote over 550, and commented nearly 10,000 times. In short, I have had the privilege to see a lot on AR, some good, some bad, and some that just defies any category that you could possibly put them in and those seem to be my favorite.
One thing that I have encountered in the comments on posts that I have written, as well as the posts of others several times, is an occurrence that always makes me laugh. I call them uninformed commenters, and if you look closely, you will see them from time to time and it may just bring a smile to your face depending on your sense of humor.
The uninformed commenter is someone that leaves a comment on a post that allows you the opportunity to realize that they have no clue what the post is about. The most common case is when someone leaves a comment based purely on the title of said post, and they obviously did not actually read it.
At one point I wrote a post that was titled " Ronald Reagan was the Antichrist." The title was to help prove a point and the post was written about people who see conspiracies in everything. The post itself in fact, had absolutely nothing to do with our former president, it only used his name as an example. His name is Ronald Wilson Reagan, all three names have six letters and therefore put the three together and you have 666.
One gentleman chimed in on the post and left the comment that I was way off base where Reagan was concerned. I had to laugh when I saw the comment, because you could tell that the only thing he had done was read the title and cash in on his 10 points for the comment. I'm sure he felt like he said his peace and he proudly moved on to get the rest of his comment points without a second thought.
So here's some free advice, if you don't want myself and others to get a good laugh at your expense, then read the post before you comment. You might just make yourself look well informed in the process and avoid looking pretty dumb too.
I wonder how many people will come to the defense of AR because of this title. I'll certainly know with this one if you read the post or not.
