2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

I think you've answered your own question
Yeah, I didn't understand people who ask "Why do this thing that makes money if it inconveniences the customer?" as if the customer ever mattered to them in the first place. The only reason they ever catered to us is because we used to simply collectively not buy things from companies that didn't. As soon as they convinced us to spend indiscriminately, any reason to give us anything we want over something more profitable went out the window.
This poster nearly, but not always, always answers their own question. Its rather strange activity.
They've never made a comment either, which is not exactly normal human behaviour
Indeed. This post will likely be deleted now that we have discussed this here.
Please don't. I hate if the original question gets deleted after discussion and answering.
Well that is just a thought process. Its like explaining and then asking: “Is it correct what I am thinking.” That also shows the person is thinking this through, but is unsure if this is correct and needs validation or correction. It always sounds funny if someone asking answers it themselves in the same question. But as explained, it makes sense from the view of the poster.
That's a fine conjecture but unless you are the poster its simply a guess. Nothing stopping them from clarifying it themselves in any of their posts when people ask about it...
Yes and no. As in, if this its true, then the poster is in a situation where he or she would not clarify. Because its a question. From their perspective. If the poster would know and clarify these things, then my theory would be wrong. So I cannot be right and the poster clarifying at the same time. That's the "paradox" here you ask.
But whatever. I just tried to help understanding.
Are you saying that the poster would not clarify that they intend the body of their post, not as an answer to their own question, but as information they want confirmed? I thought this was what you speculated was going on but I don't understand why they wouldn't be free to clarify that. What am I missing here?
I think we weren't talking about the exact same thing. It got convoluted already, so maybe we just move on. :D
