I have n9ticed a recurring ha6it 9n this we6site which I w9uld like t9 discuss 6ef9re it metastasizes any further int9 what s9me 9f y9u are apparently calling “p9sting culture.” #Vaguep9sting #IndirectC9mmunicati9n #ChittrCulture #PleaseD9N9tAssumeThisIsA69utY9u Vaguep9sting. 6ef9re any9ne immediately resp9nds with “w9w, Kankri, this s9unds like it is a69ut s9me9ne specific,” I w9uld like t9 clarify that this is precisely the pr96lem. The entire c9mmunicative structure 9f a vaguep9st is engineered s9 that every pers9n wh9 has recently experienced even a mildly awkward interacti9n with the auth9r is f9rced t9 perf9rm a private f9rensic investigati9n int9 whether they are the unnamed 9ffender. #Clarificati9n #F9rensicMetaph9r #Unnamed9ffenderMenti9n #AnxietyMenti9n A vaguep9st is, functi9nally, a s9cial sm9ke grenade. Y9u pull the pin, thr9w "s9me pe9ple really need t9 learn h9w t9 act" int9 the feed, and then wander away while raking in y9ur preci9us Chittr P9ints. #Sm9keMenti9n #GrenadeMetaph9r #N9tLiteral #S9mePe9pleMenti9n #Gameificati9n #Games #P9intMenti9n #S9cialP9licing #P9licingS9cialP9licing D9 n9t mistake my intent. Y9u d9 n9t need t9 p9st an essay with witnesses, minutes, and a c9uncil with a r9tating chairpers9n t9 pr9ve y9ur p9int. S9metimes y9u are ann9yed. S9metimes y9u want t9 express this ann9yance. S9metimes the pers9n inv9lved is unsafe, unavaila6le, unreas9na6le, 9r simply n9t entitled t9 further access t9 y9u. These are all perfectly c9herent reas9ns n9t t9 initiate direct c9ntact. #C9nflictMenti9n #C9nfr9ntati9nMenti9n #69undaryRespect #Chairpers9nMenti9n H9wever, this indirect insult refutes the idea 9f healthy direct c9mmunicati9n while making a p9int 9f m9ngering a s9cial perspective 6ased 9n the entertainment value 9f y9ur c9mplaint. This is av9idance, rather than privacy. It is paying f9r a 6ill69ard with9ut 6eing tied t9 the message. #6ill69ardMenti9n #Indirectness #PleaseC9nsiderIntent Human 6eings are capa6le 9f self-d9u6t. Pe9ple with anxiety, guilt, trauma, p99r s9cial c9nfidence, 9r simply an active c9nscience are 9ften M9RE likely t9 assume an am6igu9us criticism applies t9 them, n9t less. Meanwhile, the pers9n y9u are actually furi9us with may p9ssess the serene c9nfidence 9f a h99f6east staring int9 a kitchen. #AnxietyMenti9n #TraumaMenti9n #GuiltMenti9n #H99f6eastMenti9n #KitchenMenti9n #Am6iguity There will 6e n9 Vaguep9sting Review 69ard. I am n9t issuing permits f9r su6tweets. I am n9t g9ing t9 arrive at y9ur hive with a clip69ard and ask y9u t9 discl9se the identity 9f the pers9n 6ehind “certain pe9ple kn9w what they did.” Primarily 6ecause I already kn9w that several 9f y9u w9uld 6egin vaguep9sting a69ut the clip69ard and myself, su6sequently. #N9tA6an #Review69ardMenti9n #Clip69ardMenti9n #HiveMenti9n #CertainPe9pleKn9wWhatTheyDid “I am frustrated when pe9ple cancel plans with9ut telling me” c9mmunicates an experience. “Crazy h9w S9ME PE9PLE have n9 respect f9r any9ne else’s time” creates a scavenger hunt. 9ne 9f these statements invites discussi9n. The 9ther makes y9ur f9ll9wers start checking the calendar. #C9mmunicati9n #ScavengerHuntMenti9n #CalendarMenti9n #6ehavi9rN9tIdentity And if y9ur actual intenti9n IS f9r 9ne specific pers9n t9 rec9gnize themselves while preserving en9ugh am6iguity that y9u can deny addressing them, then I w9uld enc9urage y9u t9 at least 6e h9nest with y9urself a69ut what y9u are d9ing. Y9u are n9t av9iding c9nflict. Y9u are hiding 6ehind a s9cial mass. #C9nflictAv9idance #AudienceMenti9n #Plausi6leDenia6ility #SelfReflecti9n I am aware that this p9st itself will n9w inspire at least 9ne pers9n t9 ask whether I am vaguep9sting a69ut vaguep9sting. I am n9t. If I had a specific pers9n in mind, I w9uld write them an extremely l9ng message directly. Y9u all kn9w this. #SelfAwareness #L9ngMessageMenti9n #DirectC9mmunicati9n #Y9uKn9wMe
