another thing that I don't understand is when someone just doesn't read what you say, or if they only read the first one or two sentances without reading the whole post. they then start quoting you and taking it all out of context, or start arguing with you when you have already said in the post you are being quoted from that this isn't necessarily your view.

then there are those (often the same ones), who seem to feel that if you bring a view or belief to the table in order to open up the debate, that think it is YOUR view and will not accept anything other, even when you say it in plain English what you feel and explain it numerous times in many different ways.

there are more things that get me, but there's a starter for 10.
