Forum etiquette - double-posting vs separating ideas?

[Miste]

carefully researching a post that takes an hour, only to have the usual band of ****-posters latch onto the most generalized part of the post and go "Not everyone..."

Or....

Novel idea, but....

Have some personal responsibility for what you decide to post in a public forum instead of trying to shift the blame to others.

If you post something that can be considered inappropriate or unnecessarily rude then you may get called out on it. Instead of reflecting on why you maybe shouldn't have posted an unnecessarily rude generalization you turn around and blame other posters for disagreeing with you about it.

If you can't take the heat then get out of the kitchen.

Disagreeing /=/ bleep posting.

If you avoid posting inappropriate and/or combative things the less likely you'll get called out for being rude. This is a simple concept.

Also just fyi, if you dig through my post history I always call out people, if I see it, for making massive generalizations about cultures; be it western, eastern, or generalizations about NA, EU, or JP.

They aren't necessary and I really dislike when people throw others into stereotypes or generalizations based on where they might live or what culture they are. You can easily have a discussion or a debate without that nonsense.

Which is what happened here. You've found insult, where none was implied. You took a deliberate gross exaggeration and made it personal.

No one has said they are personally insulted or personally offended by you at all so you might be putting too much stock in your assumptions again, but a lot of us seem to disagree with your attitude that is for sure.
