[quote=The Rodent]Tbh I probably would, Dani :laugh:[/quote]

[quote=Dani8]Well would you give me a like if I called you an oxygen thief and a cretin, rattus? Doubtful I would think. My oldest sister just PMd me about how strange she found it. She and I only like comments or photos we actually like.

PS I would not call you an oxygen thief or a cretin.[/quote]

[quote=The Rodent]I do that myself tbh.
As an acknowledgement of the post... like, a nod to the poster.
Obviously I do it when I genuinely like a post too.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]I've seen people who "Like" something as a way of just acknowledging they saw it, if they don't want to reply. Usually that's done with something positive or at least neutral, though. Odd.[/quote]

[quote=Dani8]Back to something mindboggling I expressed in shout the other day and it's happened again. I called  a stranger on fb a few choice words for being a knuckledragger and he gave me a like. Huh?[/quote]

[quote=Yoda][quote=Little Devil]Description of what Yoda? What are you talking about?[/quote]
You said "there goes the 'it's all tongue in cheek' bs out of the window." Saying it goes "out the window" implies that it's an explanation or an excuse which has been proven false. The sentence doesn't really make sense otherwise (how can a "backhand comment" go "out the window")?

[quote=Little Devil]You assume wrongly.[/quote]
You just admitted you say "woe is me" specifically because he's whining...but somehow it's not a reference to the situation? How's that make sense?

[quote=Little Devil]We can only determine what is visible.[/quote]
And if what is visible is not sufficient to draw conclusions from, we can refrain from drawing them.

[quote=Little Devil]Your defense, amusing as it is, is understandable but pointless.[/quote]
It wasn't a defense, it was a question: what distinguishes his "crying" from your "laughing"? You're both complaining.

[quote=Little Devil]It's called "to bring things up" when there is no need to. I don't feel like criticizing your decision at breakfast. Should I? Maybe I should. It's irrelevant... but yeah I think I should criticize your breakfast decisions. Because, why not? It isn't magically exempt of criticism now is it?[/quote]
If I make inexplicable or idiosyncratic decisions about breakfast [i]and[/i] announce them to you, then sure, it'd be perfectly reasonable for you to tell me what you thought of them.[/quote]

[quote=Little Devil][quote=Yoda][quote=Dani8]Yods for me, not a big deal. It;s a positive rep not a negative rep. I got reps from someone I was temp cranky pants with and it was friendly. I stopped being cranky pants.[/quote]
Yeah, I think that's what I thought at the time, too. Didn't really occur to me that anyone would be put on ignore so they could be forgotten about entirely; assumed it would always be just to avoid the actual content of their posts.

Anyway, if LD would prefer it be blocked, happy to do it, I guess.[/quote]I'm not the only one who called it either. It makes far more sense to collapse an entire user's activity than to see it popping via quotes. Making the user invisible as long as it is in the Ignore List also prevents others to use it indirectly.[/quote]

You cant forget them entirely anyway. I could still see ash's avatar and that she had posted in a thread.[/quote]

[quote=Little Devil][quote=ash_is_the_gal][quote=Little Devil]I couldn't care less what the random internet person has to say. If I put someone in Ignore is because I don't want to have to read that person, AT ALL.Either directly or by being quoted [something I also addressed in the Ignore Function thread and and took the stance of someone else who asked for it to be completely collapsed from view].[/quote]

then stop responding to it.  no one told you to come in here and make a big deal about it.

or put me on ignore, i guess.  idc.[/quote]
You do what you feel you have to do, I'll do what I feel I have to do.[/quote]

[quote=Little Devil][quote=ash_is_the_gal][quote=Little Devil]I know it's "On you"; that is "your decisioN".[/quote]

okay
[quote]I know it's not your first time either. I don't care if the guy is your "best buddie on line, like, evah", or not either.

But if you yourself  feel like saying something outright, do it,[/quote]
who cares if it's my first time, second time, third time?  people quote others on here all the time.  i'm quoting you right now.  you really are putting way too much thought into it.  there's no "conspiracy" here - there's nothing i'm not telling you that i'm just dying to get out.  i was ribbing with a friend, a thing i do here often.[/quote]
ok[/quote]
