Not a stealth boast It doesn't happen often enough for that.
But A Lovely Poster said what I'd posted 'wise words' earlier, and I never know what the netiquette is for acknowledging it.
I want to gushingly thank them repeatedly 'Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou someone's noticed me' but know it'd only lay bare my low self esteem and need for approval.
But if I wrote 'That's very kind of you, thank you ' there's a risk it could look like 'Thank you they were weren't they? ' and I've drawn attention to what The Lovely Poster said on purpose.
So I end up pretending I haven't seen it, which is a bit rude in itself, I'm not saying that they have been kind to take the time and post something nice about what I've said, and which I'd thank them for were it RL.
Do other posters say anything? Or does it depend on what you're posting about, I'm sure I have said thank you at some point, but only when I'm posting about something else in the Lovely Posters post.

AIBU?
If another poster says something nice about something I've written, AIBU to not acknowledge it?
