I'm proud to say this is one horrible forum trend/meme (though I'm sure it originated elsewhere) that I have never participated in even once. Especially since it's really just a pretentious way of avoiding the person being replied to's point and basically saying "haha you're stupid, I'm right and you're wrong."

F[inks]ing terrible in all circumstances and should be killed with fire.

I'm old school, so for me '>' will always mark quoted text in an email or a Usenet posting.

I don't use it but the internet is always changing and evolving so complaining about this or hashtags or whatever just makes you look like an old fogey.

I do find it pretty unpleasant, aesthetically, if nothing else. In general there are way better ways to make a point.

Would you like me to attach a trigger warning in front of my future posts for you? I know it gets hard to read things that are mean to other people when you're a liberal. Why can't we all just get along? Sad

To be fair, 20rp12 is as far as as anyone call tell a living strawman, like in some kind of nightmarish Wizard of Oz parody.

With that being said, we'd all probably be better off without this one.

Anything that originated on 4chan should probably stay on 4chan and die on 4chan.
