Lets face it (excuse the pun) if I recall correctily the "talk to the hand coz the face aint listening" mentality grew up through caracters designed to be funny (EG Cathrine Tates characters), so dont be surprised if people think you are a bit daft for wanting to use it.
Like you I get a bit fed up if people continualy repeat the same opinion again and again, but it is their opinion and they are entitled to express it. If I am getting fed up with an individuals posts I just scroll past them.
I hope you continue to contribute to the forum, I have enjoyed your posts as much as some peoples and less than some others. But it would be great if you didnt feel the need to attempt to belittle a persons opinion just because you find it repetative or not worthy (and yes I am aware that you say you have only usd face palm 4 times in the last month.... 4 times more than most other people have felt necessary).

Facepalming has nothing to do with the 'talk to the hand' thing, a facepalm is a symbol of despair at something stupid.
Info.
I am aware they're entitled to their opinion, but I only ever facepalm their opinion when they seem to think if something doesn't please them then it's rubbish. I'm not belittling trying to belittle to their opinion, I'm letting them know what they're saying is ridiculous. If I was belittling opinion, I'd reply to everyones post which doesn't share my view on the announced channels with several facepalms, which as you may have noticed, I haven't.
