"IMO"

The problem is that people don't know that your opinion is your opinion. If you say "halo sucks" you'll get flamed. If you say "halo sucks imo" than you don't.

A couple of my friends say "IMO" in real life. And i'm talking the individual letters, I-M-O. 
 
Pisses me the fuck off.

" why is everyone talking shit, everyone of you fucking commented on my random blog. all you fuckers fail.  "

In my opinion, you're right!

This is a lot like inserting, "For your information..." before a statement. What else would it be for?

IMO IMO is cool, of course this is only IMO not IYO.

" This is a lot like inserting, "For your information..." before a statement. What else would it be for? "

" Well to be honest, a lot of the time if you state your opinion and don't state it's your opinion some idiot will come along and start yelling at you about it only being your opinion and you're stating it as fact. "

I never use "IMO" but that is because I usually spell it out. Well, if you aren't into the whole brevity thing (which movie?) then I would prefer if you spell it out. Nonetheless, what "IMO" is saying is perfectly fine. People can post stuff and people will say "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man" (same film) when you were speaking from your own point of view all along. Shall I go for three? Okay, here's an example:
 
"Near the In-and-Out Burger"
Those are good burgers, Walter."
"Shut the fuck up, Donny."
 
With "IMO" this situation could have been fixed right? (I have no clue; I am just content to get three of these references into one post :P)

" Well to be honest, a lot of the time if you state your opinion and don't state it's your opinion some idiot will come along and start yelling at you about it only being your opinion and you're stating it as fact. "

Imo this is a pretty dumb blog.  It's also pretty dumb that you link people to it in threads that you find IMO.  IMO is useful to differentiate what we are stating as facts and when we're stating our opinions.  At least, IMO.

" Doesn't bother me. Just a way to shorten words IMO. "

IMHO, it saves space. "

The point is pointless, IMO.

If you take the attitude that goes along with "IMO" out of Giantbomb forums entirely, what you're eventually left with is Gametrailers. 
Now If everyone ran around saying it after everything they have an opinion about, of course that would be equally ridiculous. 
But not everyone cares to provoke flamers as much as you (fact).
 
Tempering an opinion that's already provoking is not exactly rampant on the internet. Plus it's a time saver. I like hearing from people who disagree. But if we could just skip passed the trolling to the relevant parts, that'd be real swell. Gee golly gosh. 
 
Yes, it's less enticing to respond to an already guarded opinion. But then again, reminding people it's just and opinion lessens contact with idiots. 
Balance.
