But I sometimes go days without being quoted, yet when I joined, I was quoted at least once a day for about a month. Tis strange.AvsJoe said:I love being quoted.

Tis strange.DoctorNick said:I really like being quoted, even if the person quoting me is talking smack about what I said. Every time I come to the Escapist and I see a notification of new messages it's almost like Christmas. What thread was I quoted in? What did they have to say? What will I have to say in response?
It's so exciting!Neonbob said:I do love being quoted. Particularly if I think I've said something witty.
But I hate finding out that I've been quoted just for someone to say "this" or something like it.Insanum said:Ahh Sasky, You never fail to let me down. =DSleekgiant said:Here have some joy yourself(I see this ending badly)Sassafrass said:Have some more joy in your life!Insanum said:i see the (1) & think JOY!Brad Shepard said:I was just wondering how everyone felt about being quoted

It has led to some pretty interesting conversations for me so I welcome it.maddawg IAJI said:Normally I think, "Okay cool, someone noticed what I said." I've actually been getting a lot of quotes today due to trying to spark a revolution against Zynga in March Mayhem and by answering questions people are asking or by encouraging them to use the twitter/facebook votes.steeltrain said:I go mad with rage at the thought that someone might disagree with me and they quoted me to explain why i'm wrong.Brad Shepard said:I was just wondering how everyone felt about being quoted
I kick my dog, throw my cat, slap my mama, and tell my dad he dissapoints me.dmase said:I feel important for at least one moment in my life sniff sniff. When i see the 1 message in inbox my heart leaps with joy sometimes to be shattered with another meaningless badge.
In reality most of the people quoting me recently seem to not comprehend the point I'm trying to get across(possibly my own wording) or manipulating the idea so that it fits into the soapbox they want to stand on.
reposting because apparently i hit the dud thread.Marine Mike said:I love being quoted, it validates my existence on this planet... well, not really but I still like being quoted.urgh76 said:i little more beef on ur opinion maybe?Brad Shepard said:I was just wondering how everyone felt about being quoted
OT: i love being quoted actually, it gives my life purpose instead of seeing that sad "no new messages" and it lets me know that i did something people actually gave two shits about!Magic Hobo said:I love it. I just loving seeing the little red text and thinking "Oh God yes!"
Lets me know someone actually read what I said and I didn't just waste my time. It's why I barely ever post on the third page of something. I don't care if it's positive or negative, they could call me a baby eating douchenozzle who should die in a burning building and I'd think to myself "Hey! He/She read my post!" Then I realize they said I was a baby eating douchenozzle who should die in a burning building and get sad.SecondmateFlint said:I know it seems pathetic, but I really really love it. It makes my day just a little bit brighter.
I think I just like knowing that people have seen what I said. I have importance in this world!Marq said:Ooh, a message. Neato!
Oh, it's a quote. No doubt it's some turd-farmer telling me I'm wrong about whatever I said.
Turd-Farmer: No, you are wrong because your opinion is different to mine.
Great, thanks for that.

I hate it when (of course) someone is disagreeing with me, or it's in a thread like "What's your favourite drink?". Which is usually a "This", which I also hate.Kheapathic said:I see my (1) message and usually think I broke some unknown rule and the mods are hammering me. Then I see it's a quote and think someone is planning to verbally gut me over my ideas or preferences. I've been wrong on every account so far and hope to keep it that way.ZeLunarian said:Well, its a clear cut sign some body somewhere has payed attention to smtn you said... And for a place where people dump their thoughts.... It can be quite comforting no?
Edit: Just realized I went straight to posting after reading up to the third post... without quoting... I feel dirty x.xComposer said:its fun but its awkward when u dont know how to continue the quote conversationI just wanted to see what would happen if I quoted like almost everybody from the first page.Deef said:Usually I get all excited because I think someone quoted a really good thing I said, but it turns out was some random comment.
