The "it's not speaking" defense is the ultimate fallback for someone whoโs functionally illiterate. Whether youโre using your mouth or your fingers, the objective is communication, not parroting.
This board runs on Invision. The software is designed for linear discussion, meaning the context is already there. The developers and their forum explicitly state that quoting the post directly above yours is redundant and discouraged because it clutters threads. Itโs bottom-tier etiquette for people who apparently lack the mental capability to hold a single thought without a transcript in front of them.
