If someone replies to your post/comment...


Show some respect and reply as well, please.

Fair enough.

I replied to a couple of your posts/comments, and you didn't respond back. It didn't bother me, BTW.

Sometimes the conversation's come to its natural end, or the other person didn't have anything further to add. Sometimes you've got a slew of alerts and it's easy to miss a few. Sometimes I read the replies but I'm not in the mood to post right then, and later I forget to. I assume it's one of these things if people don't reply back to me 🤷‍♀️

How mature and logical of you my dear. 👍😊

👍

In theory, lovely, but if everybody respectfully replied to everyone else (out of respect, I guess?) wouldn’t that mean that potentially every thread would continue ad infinitum?

reply

The classic cycle of "thank you/you're welcome/have a nice day/you too" emails.

I hate it when that happens at work. I've completed your request now fuck off.

reply

Is that a permanent 'fuck off' or just a temporary one, lol.

reply

I tend to be an all or nothing kind of bloke so permanent.

reply

So, do I respectfully reply to this? I don't know what's right anymore.

reply

Best not to over think these things..

reply

I'm going to say ok out of respect.

reply

Respectfully then..

reply

I really want to leave it there, but now I'll feel guilty if I don't respond.

reply

I understand, it is a dilemma.

reply

You hang up

No, you hang up.

No, you hang up

I'm not hanging up, you hang up.

Okay count of 3?

reply

yes , if it was a computer program that rule would undoutedly lead to an infinite loop.
A little common sense must prevail as to wether a reponse would be polite.

reply

I respectfully agree with you (ok, now it's your turn).

reply

I acknowledge your respectful agreement , and I am pleased we agree.

reply

Do I answer this? Umm...Live long and prosper?

reply

I feel i must return your well wishes.
May The Force be with you.

reply

I try to respond to all the replies I get, but sometimes there are so many that it's easy to miss a few. I think it's a courtesy to do so, but there are times when there's really nothing more to to be said on a topic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

reply

I will always aim to, but there are times when I plain forget to even visit the site again for a while. I even assume that nobody would have replied to me. If I have failed to acknowledge anyone's reply to me, I apologize; it would have been honest forgetfulness, not deliberate snubbing.
