The fuck Very Happy

It's not a big deal, sometimes I use it too, it's basically a way to seem more polite in an angry environment Laughing .

It's like trying to imply "please don't attack me it's just my opinion fellas I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings". Razz

IMO of course!

That's exactly it! Adding IMO is used for defusing a tense situation, making sure those involved know you aren't putting across a cast-iron fact - but rather something subjective.

"The game is trash" > confrontational, forcing people to argue back since it casts a slight on their taste.

"The game is trash IMO" > it's a lot politer and doesn't immediately disparage everybody else grinhurt

That's IYHO. Anyone who allows himself to take a post of someone random on the internets as "cast-iron fact" should reevaluate how he uses the internets. That's a fact.

Ill join in the necro! Laughing
I take it to mean "I personally think X about it, but I im not trying to get anyone to agree with me, nor am I trying to convince you its a counter argument to yours."

Sort of a way of saying "This is what I think, and while it differs from yours, it is in no way an attempt to invalidate or challenging yours as being wrong."
The difference between telling someone something different than what was said in an attempt to correct them, and telling them something different to explain why YOU have that standing viewpoint. A short version of saying that you are not trying to start a debate on a definitive answer, but merely trying to give the other person insight into why you see it the way you do. :


-We don't control what happens to us in life, but we control how we respond to what happens in life.
-Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. -G. Michael Hopf

Why to use IMO? Because there are enough dumbfucks on teh internetz who are ready to "prove you wrong" or call you a troll. So for these idiots it is necessary to use IMO to make them clear it is your fucking opinion and you are not writing ultimate truth... aaaand you dont care what is their opinion about your opinion.
