Regadless of whether imo is shorter, language can be a plaything - obfuscation and meandering are worth something

This forum is not without posters who believe all of their opinions are pure objective, unarguable facts.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 3 May 2018 22:27 (eight years ago)
Is that a fact?

my posts are true facts stated

xp
In my humble opinion, I think it is
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 3 May 2018 22:57 (eight years ago)
Everything’s radically subjective - can’t believe we’re still arguing about this
― done and dusted (Ross), Thursday, 3 May 2018 22:58 (eight years ago)
I don't think that fewer keystrokes = better communication. Or more clarity.
All of this is a voluntary leisure activity. If I want to type "in my opinion" instead of "imo" it harms you in no way whatsoever.

Well you can’t argue with the facts

Something being better because of fewer characters was a joke :/
― He said captain, I said wot (FlopsyDuck), Thursday, 3 May 2018 23:22 (eight years ago)
ok
― NO REGERTS (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 3 May 2018 23:23 (eight years ago)
(also a joke btw)
― NO REGERTS (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 3 May 2018 23:24 (eight years ago)
But yeah, if you need extra clarity of whether or not you are saying an opinion it’s because your target audience might include slow folk.
― He said captain, I said wot (FlopsyDuck), Thursday, 3 May 2018 23:27 (eight years ago)
all too common in a large forum or comment section

I'm one of those awful people who reads it as honest, not humble
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 3 May 2018 23:31 (eight years ago)
I thought maybe it was just people that read buzzfeed, wtf dude

My excuse is that I'm so old, I can't properly translate internet lingo
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 3 May 2018 23:33 (eight years ago)
yeah often this is necessary. people tend to take opinions in a very hostile way.
Old ILX was awful about taking things personally unless you added imo more or whatever.

taking sides: ppl who describe themselves as honest vs ppl who describe themselves as humble

Humble is definitely the dud here
― done and dusted (Ross), Friday, 4 May 2018 00:06 (eight years ago)
Call yer self honest sure that sounds reasonable enough - but calling yourself humble? Whole other level of bullshit
― done and dusted (Ross), Friday, 4 May 2018 00:07 (eight years ago)
wait it’s *not* honest????
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 4 May 2018 00:29 (eight years ago)
i’m so old i remember when it was on irc and usenet and shit and was always “humble”I’ve never said “honest opinion” because calling yourself honest is worse than feigning self-effacing right

Can’t bullshit the bullshitter - sage advice

If I humiliate myself often enough, do I get to call myself humble?
― A is for (Aimless), Friday, 4 May 2018 00:32 (eight years ago)
Humiliatable maybe
