selective sharing

A.k.a. "garnished generosity". Refers to da "snooty-friends/cousins/siblings procedure" of retaining/withdrawing/consuming all of da "goodies" from a particular lot of items, and then pretending to be lovingly/caringly thoughtful of you by giving you da remaining items, which are inferior or less-desirable in some way.
A classic example of selective sharing would be during snack-time, whereby da gluttonous and sweet-toothed connivers --- instead of carefully/conscientiously dividing up da tasty and not-so-tasty comestibles evenly among everyone present --- first select all of da best and most-palatable selections from da goodies-platter for themselves to guzzle up, and then leave you wif just da blander and/or less-chewable/digestible selections, such as da veggies, chocolates wif coconut centers, overly-firm/spicy chips, etc.

nuisance share

When someone shares something with you that was unsolicited, outside of your area of interest, outside of your area of expertise, or otherwise unwanted and unwelcome.

Nuisance shares often come from pontificating coworkers in the form of forwarded articles, theories, frameworks, books, or open offers to join them on an intellectual journey. Individuals who nuisance share seem to believe they possess high-level knowledge or are intellectually superior to you. They often coach you in the form of a nuisance share.

Nuisance sharers appear to have all the time in the world to study theoretical and academic frameworks and appear to assume you also have all the time in the world to read them as well.

Nuisance sharers also often take the moral high ground in an argument, claim you are wrong according to a framework or model, then send you a link to that model. They also have difficulty staying on topic and on a single argument or train of thought. When you finally collect your thoughts and try to redirect them back to the original topic, they will cut you off and ask you if you remembered something they said at the beginning of the discussion. Then, they follow up with another nuisance share in an attempt to make themselves right, and you wrong.

Do not waste your time or emotion on nuisance sharers. They will suck your very soul from your body and leave you mentally desiccated. You will factually become less intelligent as a result of your interactions with these people.
Well, I just had another long-ass conversation and disagreement with Roger. Now he is justifying his side of the story by sending me a shit ton of nuisance share website links. Does he think I have time to read that crap after he wasted my morning on some dumb shit?
