: -----Let's try not to sound preachy and condescending in every post we write.
EVERY post? Shit. Nevertheless, I shall strive to sound humbly idiotic, because the board is totally lacking some of THAT...I think.
: ---Most of the time I don't think you need an "I think" or "I believe"....but the sentence is prefaced by something that comes off as very factual, like there is no doubt in his mind.
He could be so convinced of his opinion there's no doubt in his mind; that doesn't mean it's a fact, or even that he believes it is.
Why does no one complain when someone says "Bush wants to attack Iraq for the oil" or something, without attaching "IMO"? It's fucking annoying for people to have to do that all the time. Obviously what somebody posts is their opinion. It's implied. This would be a boring, boring place if everyone was all like "everything Kevin touches is so perfect" all the time.
In my humble opinion and personal belief, just to make that clear.
: It sounds something like "There is not enough gas in the car to get us to Arizona. This is why we have to make a stop.
NEVER! We can ride it out! Pedal to the floor, my fellow rebels, I AM SPARTACUS! I think!
: What a rebel, Isis aint gonna give you no ass smootchin, nuh uh.
Oh, when the time is right, I will kiss much ass with a smile. I just think it's mean to pick out the one semi-negative thing that somebody said on the whole board, and make them feel dumb about it. It inhibits our free discussion.
Was that too condescending? I meant "it make us feel like we can't talk free about thangs, I think, but I don't think that much because Andy thinks it's SNOOTY when I think".
: You aint neva lied.
Not to you, sweetie. That would mean our love wasn't for real. And it totally is. 'Cause you my down-ass bitch. I mean I think so anyway.
