Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

I always try to add something to the post, but it doesn't bother me when somebody else does it. Even if they aren't adding a new idea to the conversation, they are showing support for someone else's idea, which does contribute.

No. I consider it spam. While I don't usually ban for it (unless you do it to what I consider an excess) I still won't do it. I'll always add something to it.

Where that ban at?

  • 03.19.2012 5:09 PM PDT

I will only do it on rare occasions. Usually not though.

Very rarely, but I'll do it more often in private groups.

Out here, I don't even bother posting if I feel like it's the only thing I could contribute to a thread. I know I don't want my time spent reading the same exact thing over and over, so I only do that in private groups when I think it's funny.

I do, usually to give a silent nod to the person I quoted, informing him/her that he/she worded my opinion very well.

Isn't that spam? Thanks for contributing to the conversation by essentially copying & pasting.
Unbelievably, some people actually think this is good for discussion/the forums.

I only do it if the quote is the original post, even then, I usually have to add something or explain the quoted idea further.

I never just quote and post an already quoted and posted comment.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Posted by: TopWargamer
I do it quite often.
Why post something when someone else summed your thoughts better than what you were going to say?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Oh yeah I quote quite frequently

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

It's rare that I take someone else's words as my own, but when I do I usually change a word or two - if not saying "This" followed by more of my own opinion.

I only do this if someone is asking a question to the masses, and someone has already explained how I feel.

So rarely, but yes.

Does anyone have lotion?
*Raises hand*
Is mayonnaise a lotion?

Only if it's funny.

I think it's rather irksome when, rather than voicing your own opinion, you just reiterate someone else's. You're basically saying "This guy said exactly what I would have said. All of my thoughts on the topic at hand that I wish to publicly display were already posted by this random user.".

It doesn't really add to the discussion. Sure, I do it on rare occasion, usually on topics that don't have much of a discussion anyways. It just bothers me when people frequently do this.
