Being wrong in this forum

[sirineou]

I often get the confused emoji at some of my posts. I don't get it! If you are confused about something wouldn't the  most prudent course be to as a question?

or If you think I am wrong about something point it out, and if indeed I am wrong I would say fair enough, or stand corrected (Just dind yesterday) ,

Who among us have never been wrong? and if indeed you have been wrong in the past , as all of us have, why is it not possible that we are wrong now? 

If I still think I was right , state why I think so ,and provide quotes and links 

Are we here to have a conversation or are we here to arbitrarily judge?

I  know a bunch of wise ass guys will post  a bunch of confused emojis to this OP , I know I would if this was someone else post, ????

Unfortunately you are not allowed to post reactions to your own post???? 

[JBChiangRai]

I was wrong once in 1980, I corrected that 25 years ago when I divorced. never been wrong since.

[sirineou]

I thought I was wrong one, but it turns out I was right. So i guess that was the first time I was wrong. ????

[Fat is a type of crazy]

I never give confused, sad, or smiley faces unless I think it's actually funny as I think it is bad form.

I get that some posts, including some of my own that I read later, are a bit confusing or wordy, or all over the place. I can understand people don't want to debate some obscure point, or try and make sense of a post by replying, but would like to send the message - that post is confusing.

It was more fun when you knew who was leaving the sad and confused emojis.

[Gsxrnz]

Maybe I'm wrong, but in our post-modernist society there is now no objective truth, only social constructs.

 

It will remain like this until we are all huddling hungrily around a fire in the dark, each of us with an equitable sized pile of rubble.

Totally agree, but then again, if someone is confused by the most simple posts, maybe they just are'nt smart enough to get it!

 My Ex wife told me I  needed to start embracing my mistakes.

 

So I gave her a hug.

I'm an advocate of an option you check box tick to that allows you to give negative insulting posts and accept them. After all we are all adults and can give and take abuse without harm.  Some of us can't handle it,  thus the option.

There are a lot of people using this forum, and you'll get a lot of opinions, and some good or bad advice. Anyone can make an opinion, and that's all it is, an opinion. It could be right or wrong. Some here are knowledgeable about certain subjects, and they aren't giving their opinion but a reply that is fact based. Some will answer after they have researched, because they want to add their two cents worth, or maybe to help by looking up facts about a subject., and they truly want to be helpful. Many will use emojis to express their opinion without thinking things through. Some use them to insult, then use a smiling emoji to try and counter that insult with a deflection from that insult, although it is still the same. Some are too lazy, or busy to reply, and use an emoji to answer a post because it's a quick answer. Some use a confused emoji because the post actually is confusing to them, or that it's again, an insult, thinking if they say they're confused, it's them thinking you're the one that's wrong. Lastly, some are narcissists, and they always think they're right, and replying with an emoji is a cheap answer saying you're wrong, because of course they are right.

Asean Now is a discussion forum, unfortunately emojis do not promote discussion, they do however seem to make the emoji placer feel better without reaching for his keyboard, lazy springs to mind.

 

Emojis if used to stalk another member is against forum rules and that member if he persists in stalking could have his emojis removed.

They do not comprehend complex thoughts concerning instances of opposition between different concepts or aspects of something. Some lack reading comprehension skill and life experience. Or they are just dullards.

You can explain it to them you can't understand it for them. Soon they will be marking "confused" on this very post.

How can an opinion be wrong? Post links they say.

An opinion, a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Links can be others opinions also. Facts are proven.

I cant recall any time I have been wrong.

 

Stickers are for school girls. Why would any grown man give the slightest?

Its OK to be confused about getting confused emojis. Happens to me all the time. it's quite confusing.

 

You don't have to be wrong to get them. Just starting a thread can be enough as you can see in your OP here.

[amexpat]

When I mark a post "confused" I usually mean the poster seems confused.

The only time I’m wrong is when I think I am… 

 

Wait, that’s the GF, I’m wrong all the time apparently. 
 

Joking aside I do get things wrong & am grateful to people when they point this out so I can learn from it.

Im not always right but Im never wrong

Depends on your definition of opinion

There must be one million examples 

 

[fondue zoo]

“I'd far rather be happy than right any day."
"And are you?"
"No. That's where it all falls down, of course."
"Pity", said Arthur. "It sounded like rather a good lifestyle otherwise.”
