>>313178>How is that not a contradiction?Reading the post you just responded to would clarify this, had you done that before typing up your reply.
>I dont care what words they chose, the posters behavior, their maturity, their history, or anything else. I respond to the argument/meaning/point of their post, not the way they typed it. No post is ever "beneath me", nor am I "too good" to reply to a post.That may seem noble at face value, but....
>As long as the original poster posts with meaning, I will continue to reply seriously.Assuming you meant "poster" and not "original poster" here, the reason your noble cause falls flat on its face comes back to everything I said in
>>313072. Meaning is too often lost when the entire conversation is ignored or can be hijacked. Responding to posts out of contexts WILL result in replying to bait or non-serious people. I don't care about your ideals: you are wrong if you think that conversations are not human interactions. Human interactions depend on interacting with people, not on interacting with positions that are sometimes pushed this way or that by various faceless posters kicking an argument around from their varied points of view and lacking any kind of vested interest.
You can spend an entire thread, possibly many hours at your computer, replying to a person, trying to explain your own position or understand their position, and you can think that you've made progress with them, but on a non-ID board, it's possible for the entire conversation to fall into the gutter when one person reveals himself as a shitposter.
>Adding IDs gives people another way to judge and condemn posts based on what the poster said previously. I dont like that.When you're mature enough to participate in a thread without drooling memes all over your keyboard, you are welcome to post on one of the ID boards. Until then, the IDs help us to evaluate your shitposts in the context of where they are coming from. Behave and you'll be treated well.
