It may come as a
shock, but posting in a public forum invites a response from anyone who
reads it, no matter who you reply to.

I disagree. Posting publically invites public readership, but not
necessarily public participation. I think only an invitation insures
this.

I completely disagree with this. By posting in a public forum you are
inviting other participants of that forum to your discussion.

Not necessarily. Sure, anyone who is a member is free to read and respond to
any given post, but unless there is a “comments welcome”or “LMKYT”, for example,
responses aren’t solicited. When I post a MOC, I do not do so in order to
receive feedback. Simply sharing and participating in the community is reward
in and of itself.
This reminds me of a noob a while back who posted some things and was miffed and
hurt that his posts weren’t commented upon. I remember thinking, “if you want
feedback, you should ask for it.” And conversely, if comments aren’t solicited,
then they aren’t necessary desired.

You can take it
to email if you don’t want public responses. To post publically and not
expect response is, in my opinion, the height of bad manners, it’s like
shouting a conversation in a busy room but demanding everyone else ignores
it.

I didn’t say “expected”; I said solicited. Of course I’m not surprised when
people chime in, but I don’t expect responses to posts for which I haven’t
asked.
