Though it seems that I'm not the only one using that phrase for a similar expression. I sometimes check the correctness of the phrases I use, in google.
No man, you got me wrong (see, I'm not the perfect communicator either
What I meant was not that the phrase is obvious. Rather, that the fact the phrase is stating is obvious, i.e., that you do, in fact, put a little bit of thinking before you post anything, and so, stating it was not necessary; everyone knows.
Hmmm... so it was obvious to you and even to everyone that... I'm thinking a little bit before I post anything? Or? Just to create the impressions I want...? Jimmy, I think you should clarify what exactly you are trying to imply...
Man, you really do think too much!
What I'm saying is that, while others don't put much thought to what they're writing, which results in ridiculous posts with no real substantiation of their argument (which leaves nothing but a crippled opinion), your posts usually present detailed arguments, which are obviously the result of deep thought; hence, you didn't have to state that you 'put a little thought before you post', because I can tell just from the contents of your post - that is what's obvious.
It was meant to be a compliment.
It is true that I think a little bit before writing anything both as you realized to present detailed arguments and choose the most appropriate words and right sequence of these words. Although, many forum members have told me that I was very good at writing in English; I still feel that because of my insufficient English language skills; there is a certain amount(%15 or %20) of loss of meaning between what I think in Turkish and how much I'm able to express it in English.
