Poster child for a block feature.

I've always detested it when people cruise a thread for names just to PING them.
If you're well acquainted with the other poster, that's one thing, but to arbitrarily scoop someone up and PING them to your post just because they happened to have posted something themselves? That's condescending and rude in my book.
It's like you're saying they're just too stupid to keep up with the conversation all on their own.
I interpret it as a desperate cry for attention.
