RE: How To Not Fail At Quality Commentary

in #steemiteducation7 years ago (edited)

It also may be that she trusted you based on my trust, noticing that I responded to the same type of comment with some information about you.

People tend towards trusting the judgement of people they trust or like. :)

On the topic of trust, revealing human experiment results may cause some to distrust. Some also feel it denotes an interest in 'proving others wrong' which implies so many attitudes about oneself, deductively.

Knowing you're a teacher, I presumed you were not done here. ;)

I also looked at @oneazania's reputation score, and since he followed me, I appreciated the follow. I looked at his bio, if you can call it that, and page, and followed back ;)

Anyone would be mistaken to assume that a comment made in order to see the reaction of others is also a trick or dishonest in any way.

I didn't want to waste any time on too much detail for two main reasons: the first being something you mentioned - bandwidth. For me, it's limited time and effort as well.

The second reason is that counter views or too much detail are often not welcomed and dismissed or ignored as trolling: or heaven forbid, seen as stemming from ill-breeding, or flawed character. In my opinion, unless it is a counter or alternate argument, I am not contributing to the discussion in any meaningful way. Expressing by argument or demonstration is in itself an attempt to prove that another point of view is lacking in some way - not that the other person is wrong or flawed. This is emotional reasoning I think, and should not have a place in serious conversation. I do realize the climate these days is a bit like that. People feel entitled to have that affirmation only and nothing else. It is unfortunate because encounters tend to become dishonest in that there are always always compliments like "nice post" ;-) and very little if anything else.

Here on steemit more so, as there is a financial incentive to agree with others - it is for this reason also that i avoid engaging too much until I know who it is I am engaging with.
