Do you find it acceptable to greentext on places other than 4chan?

Do you find it acceptable to greentext on places other than 4chan?

Keep in mind that "greentexting" and using ">" to quote people like they did during the Usenet days are two entirely different functions, because there's always one of you retards who likes to bring it up

who are you quoting?

No, it's cringeworthy.

What's more cringeworthy is calling people "snowflakes". Even if they don't greentext you can tell that they're from 4chan, because 4chan pushed that insult so hard that all cleverness was sucked out of it.

Unless you are communicating with a group of people who all know what it is and understand it, it is fucking cringeworthy and deserves you to get shot.

More importantly, that nerd has a unique name, so he was very easy to find. I love when people don't black out names.

It's normal tribal behavior for kids trying to find an identity. It helps them feel like they "belong" somewhere, despite everyone fucking hating them for doing shit like this and otherwise being a leech.
Ignoring it is always the best course of action, and both parties in the screenshot are obnoxious faggots.

I greentext in emails... And gmail changes the text to a kind of nearly-black purple. So other things know what's up.

I use the quotes in the e-mails, b/c y'know e-mail was the first place where '>' was used, to indicate quoting.

Except that's an extremely common insult that's been around since before 4chan
