Am I The A**hole ?
Or is it just obnoxious to quote someone on a post and begin your response with "Wrong..." or "Nope..." or something similar?
My approach, mostly, even when responding to something with an alternate POV, is to avoid quoting and simply post my opinion. So as not to aggravate someone unnecessarily. And in a similar vein, do others find it annoying when someone cherrypicks one sentence from a post to argue without taking the whole point into context? What other forum behaviors do people find "anti-social"? And, yes, I have already anticipated the first response to be, "Nope, ..." LOL

You’re still a newbie here. There are a few “usual suspects” that will behave as you stated but most of us are normal. No, you’re not the asshole. Your posts are always considerate even when you’re dealing with some of the few. Just keep being you.

I get a kick out of those that ask an opinion on a situation and then go crazy defending their position when they find others disagree. Don’t ask my opinion if you’re not going to consider another point of view!

This is really the only one that gets me. We definitely have a few of those on here. They should add a disclaimer to their posts... *Only respond if you are going to reaffirm my already existing choice/decision as anything else you may suggest or recommend is most definitely stupid and a horrible idea. Mmmmkay thanks!

Like that “Is it ok to throw a bag of dog shit in my neighbors’ trash can” thread started in Arizona.

Maybe I should post this is in the "You Know You're Old When..." thread, but I always have to Google acronyms. I had never seen AITA before. Should we call that other thread YKYO?

I'd bet that 50% of my posts, I write, then consider how much potential aggravation I might get mostly from inappropriate inference, then simply delete.

I admit that I sorta purposely didn't make it clear. I figured it would be fun for people to figure out.

I'm like that on Reddit. Sometimes the blowback from the know-it-alls just isn't worth the effort of posting.

That's not the heat...it's the dog poop that someone threw into your garbage can rather than carry it home to their own!!!!!

Best AITA post ever, perhaps one of the funniest things on the internet period (especially for cat people, or those who deal with morons). To really appreciate it you need to follow the backstory detail add-ons.

I posted that before in the 'Favorite quotes' section. And I think it's a good philosophy to adopt. Especially on the internet with so many anonymous contributors.

A colleague moderator posted this comment in November 2018 (note: the 'Politics & Religion' section was discontinued later (September 2020) and ever since, due to inappropriate behavior by some, 'banning' and 'quieting' penalties have been applied with less indulgence and explanation): Quote:

Is somebody making a racquet in another thread?
Car racing is obviously a *sport*, played by athletes with big balls. All of those other things are just games.....
