I didn’t realize my sighing was annoying everyone so much.
I didn’t (and still don’t, to be honest) think I was sighing any more that I usually do.
On page 498 of this thread, there were 20 matches for a search for "*sigh*. It definitely feels as if the volume of *sigh*s is going up.
One page and one post. Not really much to go on.
Valid point. But regardless of the numbers, the feel of the volume of *sigh*s is up.
- I am just curious, and I don’t ask this to be a jerk, if I just quoted all the posts and just made one sigh instead of on one sigh for each, would it have still set this off?
It would have been better. We would have still have to scroll through a lot of posts, but it would be better. If you really wanted to *sigh*, I think you just should have just made one post with the word *sigh*.
Then people would have been wondering which post or posts I was sighing.
It would still have been fairly obvious.
- I sighed nonsense posts. I asked a serious question about why Garland was mentioned, multiple people made jokes and I sighed them. Is this really all that unusual for this place?
No, but the volume of *sigh*s is.
Have I really sighed all that more often in the last month than I usually do?
It definitely feels that way.

it probably wouldn’t have. although quoting a hundred things is still annoying, it isn’t annoying as quoting a hundred things, with a response to each of those things.
Well if I want to respond to a hundred posts, why shouldn’t I quote them? It avoids confusion as to what I am replying to.
The Garland conversation was the only discussion happening at that time, so people would have know what you were responding to.
But they would not have known which post or posts I was replying to.
I think people would have gotten the gist of it. Things don’t have to be explicit for people to get them.
Ok, I will try not to sigh as much.
But I still have my doubts that people would have understood what I was replying to without the quotes.
