manitou Posted October 28 Yeah. "Honestly..." (Why would anyone assume otherwise?, unless you know yourself to be a liar at times "With all due respect"....(you're a moron, and I don't agree with a thing you said) "Not to step on any toes..."

If you've got to tell people you're humble, you're not. However, we must give credit to those who are really humble to be polite!

If you've got to tell people you're humble, you're not. Well, IMHO, WTF, STFU, you don't say! I took a class in telecommunications once, the three-letter acronyms were out of control... Not sure I agree with you though--it's just a way of being polite, when it's used properly, IMO. Edited October 28 by Mark Foote 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, what a severe attitude towards someone you may or may not know. It doesn't mean one is humble but rather that the opinion is humble. The opinion isn't one of a statement that is the be all and end all but humble as to suggest another opinion. IMHO.. LOL. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you've got to tell people you're humble, you're not. No really, it’s just like saying all ‘allegedly’ it’s just to cover yourself so it doesn’t look like it’s stating facts… know what you mean about the H in it though. I never really thought about it, not really needed is it. I’m dropping mine to IMO, it’s better IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is difficult to hear the intonation of a statement communicated thru text or typing. So, can not tell if it was in humor or just rough times. I just wanted everyone to be kind.

IMO, you should have closed, "it's better IMHO", showing your clear willingness to give deference to the opinions of others. You're not forcing your opinion on anyone, just submitting it for consideration--that calls for "IMHO". Edited November 1 by Mark Foote 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liminal_luke Posted November 1 IMHO, it´s best not to take anything said here too seriously. Most of us are just (humbly) spouting off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
