Yes

No

We need context.  If quoting yourself to show clarify with someone that is not what you said, it's not tacky in the slightest.

If it's a mud slinging contest between you and Jimbo....  fair play!

So far, technically, you have "undefined" more than he has.  If you divide SoS by Jimbo, where SoS = 1 and Jimbo = 0, the result is undefined.

Oooh, but you're including your own and Jimbo's votes, aren't you?

So, really SoS = 2, and Jimbo = 1?


(Look!  I quoted myself!)

Do you have Siri?  Ask her what zero divided by zero is.  Don't stop until she tells you about cookies

No, it's not tacky, if you're trying to reinforce a point that someone's maybe missed.
