That was... actually well said.

Why don't they just turn their Images off then?
Some are annoying and repetitive, most aren't.
The ones that are annoying and repetitive are Facepalm GIFs poorly because F/ is so old now and
TinyPic doesn't make anymore GIFs on Facepalm, But if they did, they'd be the best facepalms around. 
I kind of agree with the last point actually, Sometimes it's good though I mean some GIFs show something like people clapping or someone laughing and that can be good if someone replies to you with that, it kind of means they like what you're saying.

I'd say from what I've seen on Tibbs so far, they seem to be favoured by the 'younger members' - perhaps there's 'something in that' !!

Like what exactly?
Yes Young Members like to use GIFs more, no harm in that.
People always go out of their way to find a way to put the blame on younger people whether it be to do with drinking, drugs, fighting and now this, GIFs.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
