So 2 things at play here:

1) I am terrible at remembering all but a few posters on the boards, so if it’s a regular thing/gimmick it will have totally gone over my head

2) I don’t want to find myself in a “Noid Situation” where I take it at face value, react with a 400-word post and then have to reassert my position with a 600-word post in an effort to “save face”. #LoveYouNoid

I think people overestimate how many people pay attention to who is posting what at what time.

And, for the record, my reaction to the post I took at face value (because I didn’t pay attention to what posters posted it) was one sentence. My retorts since then may have been 400 words, but saving face would have been to say what people wanted me to say. But god am I over.
