It might be considered poor form not to spell the problem out, however I honestly think it is crystal clear But what's interesting is that I was being upvoted until I've rephrased the comment. It used to be "That's an unfortunate comparison you've made". In the same time it sounded more moderate and more personal. I've edited it because moderation came at the cost of authenticity/honesty, and I thought addressing the comment risked automatic rejection of the underlying message on the OC's part. I did think that the actual sentiment could sound worse to others, but it would be hypocritical of me not to have gone with it. The underlying message is precisely "don't conform on account of genuineness". Hope this cleared something up after all
