QFP

Why is it that some posters QFP on every post they respond to, even though someone else has already QdFP the same entire post?

You mean that you don't think people should quote the post they are actually responding to if it's previously been quoted or just that it's pointless to Q specifically FP if the response has been previously quoted?

I always quote the posts that I respond to to make clear what I'm responding to, but I'm open to stopping if it's bothering some of you.

When should you quote?

I'm not speaking for Benz, but what specifically irritates me is when someone quotes an entire post and then gives an entire response which not only synthesizes or restates all previous responses but doesn't acknowledge them, either.

It's like GC-redundancy plus GC-plagiarism! Where is the honor council? lol

No. Lets assume a poster writes a long essay. You QFP (the entire post) and give an answer to a piece of it or all of it, then Senusret QFPs (the entire post) and give an answer to one sentence. Senusret would then get on my nerves for posting the entire post again.

We have members out here that whenever they post, the QFP whether it's necessary or not.

Now, I'm a little skittish about quoting.

Is this happening in long threads when people haven't read the whole thing, perhaps?

I'll do that somethings. Something fires me up, and I respond before I've read all the other responses. Then, I read the other responses and see that I should probably delete, and I often do.

Maybe the folks who are driving you crazy never bother to read the whole thing to see that they are restating everything, which would still be really annoying.

It's not you. They are regular posters and come acrossed as experts. And, Senusret is correct; they post in the Recruitment sections and quote and quote and quote and quote.

Ok, now I'm the Echo.

I don't get how someone could get upset at the way someone else post. Who gives a shit? It's a message board. I could understand if we could hear each other talking, because some things you don't want to hear get heard anyway because our ears are always open. However, we have the option of reading what we want to read, and what we don't.

Senusret I · #13 10-11-2009, 01:21 AM

You give a shit.

Xanthus · #14 10-11-2009, 01:24 AM

Actually I don't. I'm just clueless why someone would start a whole thread on it, or why someone would say they were bothered by a certain kind of post.

Senusret I · #15 10-11-2009, 01:26 AM

Clueless enough to add two posts to the thread.

Now you gave two shits.
