- sssilver 11y agoI won't go into details of how I never said I supported "a culture of personal abuse". If anything, I meant to say that I don't perceive harsh wording related to my work performance as "personal abuse". I was actually referring to zeveb's comments, which in my view received unfair downvotes of immense volume, despite being very well-formed and constructive. My own comments didn't even get downvoted that badly, and as of right now I'm still in net positive.
- zeveb 11y agoI did not say that I support a culture of personal abuse; I wrote that given the right conditions then personal disrespect can be appropriate. You agree! You wrote, after all, 'downvotes should be the least he gets,' which is to say that you disrespect what I wrote and feel I should be silenced. There's a difference between disrespect and abuse, just as there's a difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Some people aren't worthy of respect, but no-one should be abused.
