Well why do you bother posting a “Why do you bother?”? You do realize you’re not going to have any more effect than we do, don’t you?
I’d put more effort into this pitting, but I’m afraid it might provoke a serious “Why do you bother asking the why bother people why they bother?” which I’d have to replay to and then …
What do you expect to achieve with this Pitting?

I’m very bothered by this.
Lauren would never bother.
Does anybody else type out responses to threads and then say to themselves, “Why bother?”, and just hit the back button and not post?
I do all the time.
Should have done it once more.
Sweet, sweet release!
No, I nev
Why bother? Cause I can’t afford another keyboard right now. My Doctor is putting his second child through collage with the money he got treating me for QWERTY face, and getting broken keys outta my nose and teeth.
I need a padded keyboard soooo badly.
Frequently, but not often enough.
This bothers me too.
It’s pretty much all I do.
Grin! I’ve done it no few times.
I do bother – take the 0.999~ <> 1.0 thread – for two reasons: I’m learning how to construct better arguments, and it might do some good for some third party reading the thread (although I pity them!)
We don’t pour water on creationists because it’s fun; we do it to keep the conflagration from spreading. We don’t mud-wrassle the pig for kicks (although it can be entertaining!) but to try to keep him from getting into the tomato garden.
I didn’t expect such a response to that post. Might explain why most of my threads die with no replies! 
Why bother?
Anybody else thought that this was gonna be a pitting of Machinaforce?
Do these things get said to people who just make a single post? Or people who go on and on? I read those types of comments as a way to basically give them an “out,” since the person seems to think they need to keep arguing. If they don’t want it, fine.
Though I admit that particular way of putting it can seem dismissive. Better to just say “I don’t see much point in arguing with a troll/crank/idiot/etc.”
Or you could just shut up.
WTF? Do you have a bad dose of pre-election jitters, or are you always this much of a cunty arsewipe??
You are going for irony here, right?
He sure missed, on the idiot side of foolishness …
… oh sorry … didn’t mean to bother anyone here …
