Its just a Question sir!

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I think most people just find it annoying in the way that it's used.

<snip>but it always just comes across as sycophant-ish and fake to me and many others seem to feel the same way.

Yep, and this is another example of the huge clash of cultures here on bitcointalk.  The people who use "sir" when applying for a sig campaign or asking for their well-deserved feedback to be removed are not just being polite.  They will say anything to get a spot in that campaign or to get a red trust rescinded, and the constant "sir" is just an extension of being disingenuous. 

I use "sir" as an informal sign of respect at my job, much the way a prison guard might call an inmate "sir".  That is much, much different than what we usually see on bitcointalk--and no matter how many times this gets pointed out, they still keep writing it.

Bonus:
I suggest you stop calling anyone else in the forum with Sir, Mr., etc. because these words show that you are from third world.

What's wrong with that?

Bonus
I suggest you ignore bonuses that aren't so helpful (it's not difficult to ignore).

I think most people just find it annoying in the way that it's used. It's usually always followed with a load of begging or whining by illiterate spammers who overuse it when they are pleading for their account back after being banned for spamming/copy and pasting or whatnot. I get that they're probably just trying to be polite, but it always just comes across as sycophant-ish and fake to me and many others seem to feel the same way.

These are just your predispositions though. You should really teach yourself to ignore stuff that "pads out" posts in this way. Like saying things like "sir" and other manners people may use.

If you're a new user here, you don't know how ranks works and don't know whether they should respect people of higher ranks to them.
It's not always to ask if someone can remove the negative trust or a campaign rejection they got.

I don't get why there is so much against the use of a three letter word, there more issues here than people saying 'sir'.

OK - lets be positive here, and look at a couple of your posts.

Yes! because if you are negative thinking you cannot success and the only things you can say is I quit so, you cannot reach your goal in that way so, being positive thinking is making your future better what you are now.

So - Think positively, improve your English, learn from the forum, and earn your promotion.

I think Bitcoin is the most risky than real investment because bitcoin is digital currency and I think there is no person can control the bitcoin world and its not easy to review  and to see the bitcoin transaction because its digital.

That post is not only written in bad English, but it shows that you haven't even tried to understand the basics of Bitcoin, digital currencies, and crypto. The danger in thatr type of post is that it spreads misunderstanding of Bitcoin, and I think it should have been deleted.

I agree. Be determined to improve yourself and you'll get what you deserve.

Thank boss, I try my best to improve many things in my self specially my capacity to speak in English. Thanks for your advice I really  appreciate this.

Mate, try to avoid using Sir, Boss or any Words like related to that. They don't like it that much.
I came around here with the same attitude and behavior and when I saw a thread about that and changed my perception about that use of respect here. Using such words is not at all wrong but others may have other feelings about it. Sometimes or most of the time is sarcasm.
I will update this post of mine when I searched it.

Edited: I just noticed that The Pharmacist and hilariousetc already pointed that already.

It is likely that I expressed my ideas not good enough, but my original ideas are the same as of The Pharmacist.
Users in the forum, especially lower-ranked ones, tend to over-use "Sir, Mr., etc" as the way they thought effectively to beg for merits, campaigns, etc.

I don't see reasons to call someone I don't know, have not met before in real-life situation with Sir, Mr., etc.
