PSA: How Insightful!

Just a little tid bit for those who haven't figured it out yet...

When someone gives you an "Insightful," it's not a good thing. Peeps are using it as a negative, a replacement for the "LOL" button of old.

And when you mark a post "Insightful", you may not be communicating the message you intend.



(Given the toxitcity of the forum community, I'm sure this thread post will garner a few "Insightful"s from the unoriginal trolls around here)

    I'm not so sure. Insightful can have a few different interpretations to various people. To me, I mark it as such if I decide that the person has really given a great deal of thought to what was posted, and seems to have a decent understanding of the subject at hand.

    That's how I used to use it too. But then word got around that people were using it as an undetectable "eff you" to the poster.

    But you pass along info, and look what that gets ya. lol.

    Well if nobody knows that you are flipping the person off by complimenting them, it's not very effective.
    In fact, it may not be those of us that use "insightful" to convey what the word actually means who "may not be communicating the message you intend".....

    From the day that the lol button was removed there have been some people trying to convince everyone that insightful is the new lol. It's never really turned out that way, though. The vast majority of the time people use the insightful button the way it was intended, and rarely it's used as a lol substitute. It's not even hard to tell when it's one and when it's the other.

    So you think the people who put insightful on this OP are actually saying it's Insightful?

    We seem to have wandered into a paradox of sorts...

    Sounds like when someone say "GG". Half the people think they're sarcastic while the other half is being sincere. While on the subject, there exist an irony punctuation and it looks like this

    My understanding has been that insightful is the replacement for the lol button and so I never give insightfuls to anyone. If I get one (and probably will by posting here lol) I just figure somebody doesnt like what Ive posted, no big deal.. we dont have a disagree button or lol anymore, so insightful is the next closest thing I guess..

    Perhaps you shouldn't attempt to speak for everyone.

    When I give an Insightful it means precisely, and only, that.

    Hence the reason I am not giving your post one.
