Despite FR not being my first forum experience by a long shot this was the first time I had heard about double posting. Hahaha. So in my experience it obviously has never been an issue.
I find that double posting can be good for keeping things organized, especially since there can be links between different posts. It's nice to make a table of contents that way. It can also add comedic timing or breaks between thoughts or ideas. I suppose there are other way to do that within a post, but two separate posts look really clean to me.
That being said it can look cluttered, be spammy, or be annoying to look at pretty often too. I think it all depends on the context of the situation.
I mostly edit instead of double posting because I find that to be easier. But I think the "edited at XX/XX/XX" tag bothers me as much as a double post. Hahaha. So I guess not that much but enough that I notice.

Man I double post a lot tbh. But I'm in the boat of being somewhat uncomfortable with it? FR is the first forum site that I have actively participated in. I used to be terrified of forums. They seemed strict and controlling while I was very out and open with everything. I get uncomfortable when I double post outside of bumps, but usually it happens because I'm trying to engage in a discussion thread with people. Even though I triple check before I post, someone tends to post right as I send my message. Because I don't like to just skip people I tend to post again. I'm trying to get into edits more but I also get anxious it makes other people seem like they're an afterthought? Sometimes my forum anxiety gets the best of me.

I didn't even know people getting ****** about double posting was a thing. Though, the only forums I've been on before this were the Neopets forums, and those were an experience all their own.
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it? I think a big long post with a bunch of edit notes in it looks a lot clunkier than two posts responding to two different things, just in an organization sense.

my first forum experience was on a site that didn't like double posts too. I rarely see the need to do them here, except for bumping. still felt weird to bump threads the first few times, that "don't you dare post again before 24 hours have gone by" mentality really stuck with me. (and that site was really strict with this rule, you could post after 23 hours, it would get deleted and you'd get a salty pm)
