of course im right.
And over here, we see how the proper use of quotes is needed. Because I was talking to the OP, not the person above me. Someone who knew how to use quotes would know that. lol

I made the last post, prior to yours, meaning your post was a reply to mine considering there was no post quoted

Nope. It means I'm talking to the OP.

Not in this version of reality and internet etiquette.

Actually, you are both correct. An unquoted reply can be in response to the OP or the previous post. In the case of a string of exchanges between people, quoting each other would only occupy excess space and would be unnecessary for continuity. However, one can also reply directly to the OP without quotes because the general thread topic surrounds the OP topic. It would also appear funny to quote the OP because everyone has read at least the OP.
This is where reading comprehension, context clues, and critical thinking come into play. If an average reader possesses at least two of these skills, then he or she can typically determine the flow of the thread and make an educated deduction about the meaning or intent of the post in question, or at least infer from it what the poster intends to convey and to whom he or she is replying.

It can work both ways but it's so much simpler and better to do things the proper way instead of hoping others will know who you're talking to.

I'm curious to see the published, accepted, and adopted rules of internet language and etiquette that you define as "proper."

Dude, it's just like you said. The thread centers around the OP. Posts without quotes are assumed to be addressed to it. Because it's centered around the OP. Go on any forum and you'll see the same thing. But if you really demand proof that it's the "proper" way of doing things, I could ask you for the same, the other way around.

The burden of proof is on the accusing party. You accuse one of being improper, while I believe that both ways can be generally accepted.

My way is better and much more people conform to it. That's my proof.

A bit of a weak argument on both points, but I'll let it rest.
