And does this unfairly paint them as less agreeable than they would be if you presented what they said with a normal voice?
Weird I’ve never done this, my inner monologue has one voice. Imo it’s a sign of immaturity.
My inner monologue does lots of voices. It does a great Christopher Walken. It also does a good Bill Cosby, especially when talking about pudding. I get offended when it uses Cosby’s voice because he’s no longer acceptable in society. My inner dialogue can’t keep up with changing times. It’s still saying “Where’s the beef”.
It shows how you feel of their opinion and sheds doubt on your interpretation of the situation. And also sways the listener to your opinion. It’s best to share facts without the emotion.
I think that’s the point. Mocking the person fire sharing their dumb idea.
It depends on how stupid the idea is and whether the originator of said idea should be expected to know better.
For example, at my employer there was a senior engineer that made the FEA engineer waste a month trying to fix a design that would never work, simply because senior engineer wouldn’t spend 2 minutes drawing a free body diagram. That level of stupidity is deserving of mockery
Emotion is involved when that happens.
Happens to the best of us, not a good look for civil discourse.
To be fair, if emotion isn’t involved, that’s basically just a sign of indifference. You owe it to yourself and your “opponent” to actually care about whatever it is you’re discussing. What truly matters is understanding and prioritizing the why behind your feelings and honoring that, regardless of whatever random impulse those feelings are currently bringing about.
Context is always important. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and doing this is a good way to express your opinion about someone else’s opinion. Just remember, it’s easy to sound like an insufferable twat when done poorly.
