A Suggestion For "Quote Posting" Over Someone

[TIGUY]

Here's a suggestion I'd like to toss out that pertain to those who "quote post" over others in rolling threads where we are to say something about the person above us.

Yes, there are many times two members post to the same person above as they happen to come in at the same moment and there's nothing wrong with that, however, when you ignore the person above and pull down an earlier members quote to say something about them...it's disrespectful for the person above who is looking to hear what someone has to say about them or their post. Well, I care anyway.

My suggestion is to post to the person above you as rules state we should. Then, being you are the next person....you just "quote post" below yourself...no feelings get hurt. Should you not have anything nice to say about the person above you...then calm your liver and wait for another to be above you.

My thoughts....

Thank you Tiguy.I am learning.

I know that happens, I've done it myself. Not to skip or overlook anyone. Usually it's because I get started posting something, maybe get a call or otherwise distracted and forget to refresh and see if anyone else has posted before me..then maybe she calls or im's and I can't or don't have time to follow up... But my questions is this...do we really have to be so sensitive and quick to get our feelings hurt over something that's not so life changing. I don't mean to be trifling with someone's feelings, but can't we just understand that getting passed up on occasions sort of goes along with those sorts of threads?

My sincerest apologies to anyone who may have felt left out and overlooked because of my slowness. I wouldn't do that, intentionally.

Oh, SA-WEEEEEET! Another thread about hijacking that is destined to get closed!:pc Although it sounds like some people may be a little sensitive in needing to have someone say something about them. I think the intent of those threads is to say something about someone else, not feel slighted because we didn't get a chance to be complimented in some way.

or perhaps others just reply to people they know they will get a response from;)

God, do I really have to say something nice about you? or can I just hi-jack this thread until it gets closed so that we don't have to hear all the oversensitive nonsense that is destined to come.

If people happen to get missed, it is not that big a deal. Just post something along the lines of..."I am feeling particularly needy today, please say something nice about me." That should work. If not there is always the PM function.

You have beautiful eyes...feel better now???

I think I need to go shower now, somehow that made me feel dirty.

Yes, my day is now complete and I can face the world thanks to your kindness.

If I told you that you are good at being dirty, does that count as my compliment to you??.........BTW, I don't feel at all weird about that...........well, maybe a little but I'll just keep drinking Nyquil til the images leave my head.

I think it may count, but I will have to go to the instant replay. I will get back to you on that.

At least you didn't say "drinking the cool aid"...that terms is so overused! However, it would have the same end result.:sc

Ok, let me try a new one then......your new avatar has a word in it that I've never heard of so I looked it up. You have enlightened my day and helped broaden my knowledge base....you are so kind to do that. You are a treasure:)

In the immortal "words" of fly....:vs::vs::vs:

I almost bought it until you threw in that "You are a treasure" crap. Now I really do need to wash again.

LOL...did I Over Sell that one?? My dude flirting is a little rusty since Cyclops hasnt' been around much

[Han Solo]

OK...well let's get back on topic here.....

I think that rule should also apply to the regular threads to. If someone asks you a question in one of the more thought provoking threads you shouldn't skip over those either.

Agreed. We should all do our best to answer direct questions and concerns raised by other members. Too many times, people just skip over something for whatever reason. I don't know if they feel above the question or the questioner, or if they just don't have the nerve to answer and deal with touchy/deeper subjects. However, if someone asks a direct question in a mature and responsible fashion, they deserve the respect of getting an answer...even if it is to do something physically impossible. :ok

Using a word from my overly self-indulgent avatar is the sincerest form of flattery. Thank you for your kindness.

I concur, especially since being nice to you isn't going to get me laid. So, bugger off already you wanker!!!

[OnceAKing]

ROTFLMAO...damn what a pair

[fever]

I agree some people are oversensitive about the issue, but in principle I think it makes some sense.

JM & Han...I'm thinkin' you guys may need your own couple's thread...

We generally follow the rules, that is until they lead us in circles chasing our own tails on a site that encourages chasing new "tail," but I digress. I think I need some mango.

Funny you should ask...thinking about going to Burning Man this summer! Think we could really implode the server????

[Psynge]

One suggestion is to post a quick "In progress" to the thread.
then go back and edit you comment to say what you want to say.
Unless I'm wrong(and I'm never wrong(princess bride)) that will save your place in the thread.

Fever, my avatar is the burning man. And no I didn't go, but I so want to...

[OICurready4me]

Usually, if I noticed that I skipped over someone right after I posted, I will go back in an edit it so that I stay in line with the thread to keep it going, if it is some sort of game type thread. If it is another thread, I will try and edit it to include a quote of the person it was intended for so it will make sense and will keep with the flow of the thread.

I figured as much...catch you at Black Rock City this summer????

Hey OIC...wouldn't want to skip over you!!!

Tiguy,thank you for the post but please add''Do what you say, first'' pinciple...

[Shawn_N_Sandiego]

Is it me or have we all got just a smidge touchy over small things lately.... ok disclaimer "we" meaning the site in general, not specifically calling anyone out, nor trying to start a post war... just an observation.

If someone does not post towards my direction I assume they had their reason... normally I write it down in my log and hunt that person relentlessly until they acknowledge that I am the best thing to ever venture into this site.... thats just the way I deal with things... I am certain others have their weird ways

[pointofnoreturn]

I concur, especially since being nice to you isn't going to get me laid. So, bugger off already you wanker!!!I hate to get involved in this kinda stuff. Let me just say one thing. Everyone here is here for attention. If you ignore someone and go to another when the thread is "state ____________about the person above you", and you pick another person to _________about. Honestly people........The fun is starting to get sucked out.... EVeryone likes to be complimented. Everyone likes to think they are wanted. Just play the games and try to be nice.... Just my opinion. And yes I am done now..:sc

Yeah, that's me too. In some of the threads you can't help it from time to time because the posting is pretty quick.

Me telling Han to "bugger off you wanker" was directed to the person above me, and it was quite fun.

gee...ya sound just like Tiger....:wa:

[MrHyde]

I think most of us try to play by the rules. I know sometimes someone will sneak in a post and the order of some threads get all jacked up. When I am especially needy and that happens I just post again. Eventually you'll get some attention.

I am the same way.. if someone double-posts or grabs a quote from above and misses me.. I tend to post again and usually say something like "HEY.. you were supposed to say something nice about ME!"

I sincerely believe it's usually an honest mistake.. most people usually stand up straight after being put on the spot like that (hopefully, they realize it is in fun) and others who double-post and realize it (like me) use the edit function and get an amazing 2 for 1 deal.. they get to say nice things about the two people above them!
