- nomel 3y agoThis idea that there's an agenda for every observation seems to have started in the past 10 years. I find it very strange. It really shackles the mind, and conversation.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoI notice my mind tends to think this way as well. Thinking about why I will think that usually yields recollections of people making "innocent" observations while they clearly had ulterior motives; such memories are in-person events, not this sort of interaction online. That said, it's easy to (read: difficult not to) apply similar heuristics to online interactions. Not to excuse it; I agree with your conclusion. Hopefully such an understanding can help people to be patient with the behavior despite the annoyance.
