MERGED ---> Imo & Imho + To use or not to use IMO!

[the soul waits]

Reminds me of a post I saw at another message board yesterday:

"No offense, but you're a fucking idiot."

I guess the "no offense" makes it okay.

Why were you off galavanting on another message board?

Sorry, but the Ryan Adams board gets mad love from me as well. I have over 25,000 posts there.

To use or not to use IMO!

The thing about adding the words 'in my opinion' or IMO in every post is that it is tedious. But if you don't say it, people assume that you're trying to state your fact as opinion! How do you say something and not come off as stating a fact, without using that boring tag phrase. Guess you have to add a disclaimer to your sig.

 

[impy13]

Don't use it.

 

[Zoots]

Don't use it.

And what if you come off as an arrogant bastard who knows all the facts?.... hey, wait a minute.

 

[LJT]

Simplest way to show you are stating your opinion and not fact is to say 'i think' or 'i believe'...or words or phrases that have the same meaning....
