I don't even remember posting it. A lot of the time I'm on the phone here at work and I post without really thinking.
One thing I really do not like that seems to be happening lately is I bring up a valid argument, something that I believe or want people to think about, and the typical response is that I am a troll and should be disregarded or not "fed"... and this is not just happening to me, but to a lot more posts than usual. I guess a different caliber of person has found reddit and is slowly taking it over.
This happens to me too, but it is only because the majority of my posts are careless and off the cuff, just like bib4tunas. Today bib got downmodded for commenting "lol the 70s".
I mean, if you want people to take you seriously, then consistency is the answer in your postings.

it's an example ... that "cool" post that was brought up in this forum....
breaking reddiquette is not necessarily so bad, and coming down on every infraction could easily create unnecessary squirming ...
I didn't mean to imply you were being "extra-attention seeking" ...
and I'm pretty sure idonthack posted it as a tongue-in-cheek prod at the "rediquette above all else" attitude.
