    Default FOOL! I HAVE USED 1 WORD IN YOUR 2222 WORD POST AGAINST YOU!

    Do ever get pissed off when you make a post which seems fine to you but then someone quotes 1 or 2 words from your post and calls all of the rest of your post worthless because of the part...


    It gets me pretty angry

    Yes, and in fact, as a defense I think I'll stop using spaces so that my posts are each just one large word. Or maybe I'll learn German.

    Uh I don't think this has ever happened to me. I would probably find it more annoying if I made a really serious, well-expressed, well-constructed on-topic post that remained unquoted as opposed to a silly one or two word remark which had been
    ...Geddit?

    This thankfully didn't happen to me yet, but if it does happen one day, I'll make sure to have revenge.

    Depends on how important the word is. Like in a Written Role-Playing Story (or RP), sometimes a single word changes everything.

    It doesn't come down to how little or how much a post has in terms of words, it comes down to how meaningful the post is. If the post is meaningless but has a ten-page essay, it is no different (it temrs of how meaningful it is) as a post that is one word.

    This especailly is true with "question words" (who, what, why, etc.). Like if you qoute a post and put "Why?" that post is meaningful, though not elobortory.

    Thus, I do not mind if the post is one word as long as it is meaningful.

    Well, it's better than quoting every sentence and replying to it.

    On a scale from 1 to 10 I would say that I'm never going to make a 2222 word post on this forum. Heck, might as well make that 222.

    I wasn't being literal when I said 2222. I was, in fact, being dramatic.

    Fantastic work turning the initial post to pull off exactly what was being complained about. Stellar.

    Yeah, that bugs me, but I don't argue with people too much online, and semantics are fairly idiotic to argue over when principles are being discussed. If someone degrades themselves to that level, I generally ignore them from that point on.

    Depends, maybe that one part (if it doesn't make sense) would make the rest of your arguement fall apart. It more depends on circumstance than anything else.
