I asked for your input. You gave it. I thanked you for it, but dismissed it because your advice seemed to amount to, "Don't word tings the way you do," and also sounded to me a bit like, "word things the way I do." So I tried to clearly say, "that's not how I want to engage here."
You said you try and "encourage" people to respond. Your post did not do that. And when asked to advise on tatics would work better to encourage a response to your postingI explained why with bold points on what others would likely find rude in your posts. I said what to perhaps omit or rephrase, not what to say like I do. Not sure how you said it would emulate how I post. When you start or finish a post with someone worded something badly or wording something that can be interpreted as they are not a fan, or beginning a number of those posts with hmmmm, they don't really want to interact with you. It is not encouraging. You will find not all, but others feel this way about your postings.
Can you cite where I said "Say it like me?"
Your actions Caleb, are very clear. I even stated it may not be intentional, but it is very evident that it is discouraging. You asked for advice. Clear examples were given. You did not like the advice.
Don't post like anyone else, just do better for yourself if your goal is to encourage others to respond with their "why?" And if you don't care, that is of course fine too, but you asked.
It was solicited. I never told you how to word things like me.
But now, pages later, after back on kind of a box office topic, we must all figure to bust someone's chops. You didn't take the advice, cool. Many people don't take advice they ask for, and typically, without making an insulting statement about it.
