The "ok" Meme Needs to Die

Haha, yeah for clarity I wouldn't have done it if I didn't know you somewhat.
Would be fairly happy for the OK meme to die though, it does get annoying.

To be fair, the post - while containing some very worthwhile points - also contained about 48 repetitive uses of the phrases "blue pill" and "red pill", which felt like it warranted some sort of pisstake. It might have been more mature and cerebral to let it go but I'm a man, and at that, one with a slightly subnormal talent for impulse control. Not a Tibetan monk.
I regret not coming up with something cleverer though. I also regret not realising when I was about 12 that the world doesn't need another generic as **** medium pacer and taking up leg spin instead.

The truncation feature from the new forum software makes it so it barely registers anymore, but yeah it was really only funny maybe a handful of times. The best usage wasn't "ok" anyway, it was this, which again is a lot less effective with the truncation.
On cricsim AWTA was the cheap way to get activity points, while for me "this" had pretty happy connotations cos it meant cribb was simming

Okay so genuine question, what do people think our approach to examples like this http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/thr...cess-and-allowing-chucking.89579/post-4931584 should be? Because to me this is egregious, and actively discourages people from making serious contributions to discussions or starting interesting threads. Am I wrong, and this is just something I should lighten up about?

The latter.
I honestly never found any OK post to be offending to my knowledge. I guess maybe I am desensitized to it as it has basically been a staple of our posting here for a while. I suppose while I have made the odd effort post that was long and got the OK treatment, I never really felt it to be insulting or anything. As I had posted earlier, maybe we should be more considerate towards the new members and their posts. But for guys who have been here a while, I feel it is just part of the fun, at least IMO.

In that instance, the OP and the OK'er are pretty well known to one another so I don't think there's any offence meant or taken. It might well be different if it was a new poster I suppose.
Kind of agree with Daemon & HB on this one.
Which probably means I'm wrong. Give him seven!
