i kind of like it, but i'm very much aware of the the fact that it presents a sort of cop-out. a way to voice an opinion and at the same time provide a way to prevent any counter-argument...it's not neccesarily used in this way, but i think some people use it for this purpose

if you say: xxx is an asshole he can sue you for defamation
if you say: imo xxx is an asshole he can't because it is evident that you just voice your opinion which you are allowed to to...

i used to not use any acronyms. i think coming here has made me say "lol" way too much.

i still don't go anywhere near "imo" though.
