Why do people say I have a certain style when asking questions? Is that a bad thing and if so can someone explain how style can be applied to typing? Or how do I fix it. To better the community (lemmy.world)

Maybe I should have said it more properly. How does my "style" of just typing come through? Does it come thru like a written word? I am just looking for a way so I can identify my style and make critques to it instead of the funneled version.

Don’t get me wrong—most of your questions concern things that are worth questioning, they just seem to slightly skim past the real crux.

I just don't want to show an agenda. I am a very lazy person. And just ask questions to start discussions but a good one is har.....Hate to ask can you go through my post and pick out of a good example how I skim? I don't mean that in any way to be argumentative.

You should hate to ask that, because that is something most people hate being asked.
