Do you generally take posts seriously?

Do you generally take posts seriously?

Or is there a small part of you that wonders whether the poster is simply trying to get a rise out of you?

Or does your method of reviewing posts change from poster to poster and topic to topic?

[wambam]

My method of reviewing posts changes poster to poster and what I know about them as a poster.

[Deleted]

it changes based upon the poster, the topic, and my daily whim. sometimes getting all bothered amuses me.

[blueballoon]

I take everything with a grain of salt. I'm sure most stuff is true, but sometimes I wonder.

#3.  Certain posters could tell me I look awesome and I would be all "What did ya say bitch?".  Others can be total assholes and I will laugh. 

[TrickyBob]

ETA: took the OP a different way. lol. Go figure.





No, I don't take every post seriously. Some I assume is purely bullshit because it's the internet. Others I take seriously. Most of the time I don't care. 

[speckledfrog]

I often depends on my mood.

#3.

I also hate it when I am not expressing myself well and just end up sounding like an asshole.

[pedanticwench]

It depends on so many factors. I try not to take things too seriously, but sometimes my emotions get the best of me.

In those times, I tend to avoid posting.

Depends who it is.

Oh and ftr @misoangry I don't really want you to diebitchdie.  I hope you know that.  I was just showing how full of entitlement I am.  (for some reason I am worried my reply prompted this?)

It's easier just to sound like an asshole all the time.

Then being an asshole is the default.

And people just expect that from you.

But you are far too nice to go this route.

Definitely #3. There are some people that I know pretty much only post to get a reaction.

My opinion's intensity depends on the poster. And my ADHD. And my self involvement. And what day it is. And what is on tv.

[Deleted]

And oh yeah, my own personal mood definitely plays into it some days. If I'm crabby, I want to tell everyone to STFU. I need to stop myself.

LOL.  Not at all.  We cool.

That thread went exactly as I'd predicted in my head.

And then when someone else sarcastically points it out?!  UGH, they're the worst. 

Totally. Stinky sluts. (lips)

Do you mean do I believe people when they post, or do you mean do I assume someone is just trying to offend/get a rise/entertain themselves when they pose a question?

[joshlyman]

1 mostly. I tend to give people the benefit of the the doubt, and take a lot of topics to heart. Which can suck.

[lilybug]

I'd say it depends on the poster and tone of the post. If it's something really off-the-wall, I tend to assume they're bored and looking for entertainment.

[karmasabiotch]

It depends on the poster.

[luckyval]

3 - it all depends on the topic and the poster

You think a lot of what people post is just to shit stir?

I think some people get an almost sadistic glee from arguing with and shaming others. 

Not my bag man. 

Ohhhhhh NAME NAMES
