Does anyone else find that thing their website does where the paragraphs s...l...o...w...l...y... pop up one at a time as you scroll unbearably annoying? In my head it gives the author a really annoying voice.

No-one cares about you buying a console for one game and never playing it, you insufferable prick. You make me want to commit a hate crime.

in case this helps you, the described effect is gone with JavaScript disabled. If these kinds of effects tend to annoy you a lot, you might want to consider a JS-whitelisting browser addon, I've had good experiences with one.

I would have upvoted the first part of your comment because I, too, found that thing insufferable. I just scrolled to the end to make all the text appear and then started over.

But did you really need to insult the author?
