Subject: Paranoia about Employee/Ninja quoting!

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

Has anyone else got this problem?

There is such a stigma about quoting employees and ninjas because its seen as 'arse kissing' or 'brown nosing', that i go out of my way not to quote them.
I mean i would quote them if they where normal, because more often or not they're funny replys, but, im too scared i'll be shot down...

Well do it and make funny jokes. I mean Duardo and Foman tease each others mums all the time on the public forums and on the 'know your ninja' program (Proof XD)

Q. And what keeps you coming back to Bungie.net for more?

Duardo's A: Foman's mom.

You have no idea how revolting I can be.

As long as you quote their reply and have something additional to say, I don't think you'll be "shot down". Most of the time (your 'brown nosing' suggestion), it goes like this:

Posted by: Employee, Master Ninja, Forum Ninja
Required reading for all Forum Ninjas
Oh pleez Mr Bungie P3rson!!! U r SOOOOOOOO AMAZING! Can u unlock blu flaemz?!?!

End Example
As long as you aren't actually kissing up to them, nobody has any logical reason to say anything negative reason other than the fact that they are a jerk. Besides, if anyone should be "kissing up", it should be the Forum Ninjas kissing up to us. Yes, I am referring to Qbix.

I'll quote and respond if I have a valid question that hasn't been answered.

I have noticed in a few threads (after a ninja posts) the minute count for responses goes from small to very large. But people are entitled to use this site within their limitation, even if it involves constantly quoting ninja's.

It all depends. If I feel quoting them will add to the discussion, then sure I'll quote them. There's a difference in brown nosing and actually continuing discussion.

You realize that certain threads are purposely posted in by Employees so they won't die?

I agree with that, but i psychologically view any attempt (by myself) to quote is just being derrier kissing

The world is a very sad place if this is an actual problem for people. Here is my advice:

1) If you have something to say, say it.
2) Don't be so concerned with the opinions of random strangers on an internet forum.

Yep. Just like the Duardo FAQ on titles, if that disappeared into the abyss every second thread would be on titles.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I like this, this sums up my thoughts nicely. If it's a legitimate reason to quote, then do it.

I quote them if I actually have something to say in response, which is okay. The endless amount of people just quoting ninjas/employees to say they agree is kind of annoying though.

Don't be afraid to quote OP. If an employee or Ninja says something that you like, agree with, find funny, etc., then quote and add your reply.

Who cares what others think? It's your post, your response, quote when it suits you to quote, regardless of who it is.

If someone flames/trolls you for it, then that is their small mindedness. Don't let it stop you from using quotes to help clarify your own thoughts and/or opinions.

Just do what you want to do with your posts (within site rules of course).
