Forum etiquette - double-posting vs separating ideas?

[KisaiTenshi]

It certainly doesn’t give you the right to generalize the lot of them. Personally, I post on forums because I’m bored. When I’m not bored, I’m typically not on them. Again, not out of some need to be validated by strangers on the internet.

Yet, somehow you personally took offense to a generalization that is very true for this forum, and all unmoderated/loosely moderated forums on the internet, because you felt that I was attacking you, when I was describing the behavior of people who add nothing to the conversation, because there is no moderator.

When there is low moderation, the amount of ****-posting goes up. Those are posts that add nothing to the thread, but exist entirely to inflate the users presence. That is just one thing people do, and it's very popular to do in Western and Eastern forums when the moderators are asleep, or absent. Prior to this concept, as I described before "forum games" exist where people post to the same thread, over and over with one-liners, it's entire purpose to inflate the user's post count, and visibility on the site by being the last poster to every forum game thread. This forum doesn't have this because it's against the terms of service to do it, and the posts-per-day limit lowers the rate at which the post inflation happens.

What? Why is it rude the snip posts? This is the second time somebody said it. How is that rude? I do it because I'm responding directly to the person I snipped. This feels like an overly sensitive reaction to a minor thing.

It's equal to saying "what you said meant nothing, thus you're an idiot"
