How do you feel about being quoted?

[Sharalon]

"OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! Someone on the internet cares about me! Even if it's only enough to tell me how wrong my opinions are!"

Then I calm down and think about how I felt. Then I realize why I'll be...

It happens every so often. The little box tells you you have one new message, it's in the quoted folder. How do you feel?

For me I get the excitement of having said something important enough for someone to want to reply or expand on what I've said. That and the worry that I've posted something sounding quite aggressive and it's going to be someone calling me out on being a prick.

So, how do YOU feel?

Usually dread. I very rarely receive a quote for something that is deep and meaningful, it's usually because I've said something that is controversial and it's pissed someone off somewhere. I have a tendency to be misinterpreted on here.

I quite like it, makes forums seem more interactive, not just me typing random thoughts to an anonymous mass.

I feel excited. I like getting messages. Makes me feel special like everytime my email notification thing tells me I have an email. XD

I used to get excited, but lately I've just felt apathetic. People seem to agree with me too often, meaning the discussions I engage in are generally one-sided.

And yes, I realize this leaves me open to a ton of "I don't agree with you and am proving you wrong by not agreeing with you" responses to this post.

I disagree, I do not think that this leaves you open to a ton of "I don't agree with you and am proving you wrong by not agreeing with you" responses to this post. Paradox, much?

Yay... quoted =D
No problem, Daft Punk are pretty awesome. I'll have to try and find a clip of this clown from Band of Brothers , it sounds quite amusing =)

Edit: probably isn't going to be the same clip though youtube has provided some interesting results for that search....

Many laughs were laughed when I had it.

Normally, if it isn't a controversial topic, I'd be anticipating what's inside.

If it is a controversial topic such as say, Illegal Immigrants or what Japan went and is going through, (both subjects I made threads about.) Then I kind of dread them as people may tell me how pathetic I am, how I'm completely wrong, or in some cases, wish me death. Which is why I try not to make those kinds of threads anymore.

I'm neither here nor there about it, but I thought I'd quote you here just to give your day a little boost.

Thanks for that, it did actually make me feel pretty good.

I was a bit worried this thread would be just one person saying "No, you're an idiot", glad that other people feel as happy or apprehensive on quotes as I do

i get scared cuz i got 2 warnings in the first 2 days

 

[Artina89]

It used to excite me, but now I can't really say that it bothers me that much anymore. It's nice that someone has quoted me and if it leaves room open for a response then I will reply as soon as possible, but that's about it.

I see the red text, and it's like all my Christmases have come at once! Then I click the thing, and I find out I've just got a new badge... which kinda sucks.

The worst was when they added the extra credits badges, because I got about 10 of them at once, so I thought I must have said something so deeply profound that a small culture had formed around it. That was possibly the third or fourth biggest let-down of my entire life.

 

[Sandernista]

I love it, makes me feel really really special.

 

[WittyName]

It feels kind of nice knowing that someone has taken the time to read through my opinion.
Unless of course they then pick a fight.
Then I run away.

It depends on what is being quoted. If I am being quoted on something I just said that I thought was worth debate, I welcome it. I am being quoted on the first initial post I made of a thread that is now 3 or 4 pages long (or more) and someone is correcting me or answering a rhetorical question or even just a regular that has already been responded to like 5 times, I start getting a little ticked off.

 

[Stuntkid]

Whoever is the first one who quotes this post gets a cookie.

Nice... I vaguely remember seeing that as somebody's avatar and laughing, so it probably was you =D

... oh and thanks for doubling the number of times I've been quoted ;D

 

[TiloXofXTanto]

ECSTATIC, and slightly unnerved.
...And that applies regardless of content, the very fact that I've been given the chance to continue any conversation is a wonderful thing for someone who is as infinitely interactive as me.
No challenge or question is too terrible to dissuade me from the happiness cause by the fact that It has been issued to me!

 

[Jewrean]

Annoyed, it is rarely someone agreeing with me. Until the message has loaded I'm usually feeling a little pissed off. "Here we go again!" or "What are they complaining about this time?"

Free quote. Feel important, now!

This about sums it up for me. I get excited that someone noticed me. lol
