Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn't mean that it's not beneficial to repeat it for others.

The "idiot" comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.

It feels like people do it so commonly while making such weak arguments that it might be a bot trying to parse the prior comment. Feels like it doesn't have use in any other circuimstance.

while making such weak arguments

Perhaps…

Idiot.

I know you're banned, but for when you come back, there are several reasons.

  1. It let's people make a response to specific parts of what you said.
  2. It helps outside folks see the train if thought
  3. For me personally, it helps organize ideas and see the comment response closer together
