I'm pretty surprised by your comment here. I wasn't crabbing at you or trying to argue. You said I hadn't been attacked, which was mistaken (an entire comment only consistent of "You are a hypocrite,") and I poited out your mistake. I told you I appreciated your advice. I pointed out that this kind of meta-conversation is only acceptable to me because it has been disconnected from the main thread, and by that I was trying to demonstrate that I am trying to behave ethically. In other words, I'm trying to say "I don't want to keep flaiming the issue, but I think it's OK to have this out-of-band conversaiton." So what is your problem? > "I don't agree but I am not going to argue it" instead of deleting your comment is still arguing it. I don't agree with this. The comment I was responding to said: > Your "rational argument" amounted to "people are stupid, fuck 'em." And that is a malignant distortion of what I said. I think it's fine for me to state that, while I'm not going to offer a rebuttal, I don't agree that it is accurate. tl;dr your aggression here is unwarranted. You come in supposedly offering "wisdom" and trying to help and you just become aggressive when I take you up on that and actually try to talk to you. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I guess the sentiment of what I was saying to you didn't come across.
