There is also a lot of the opposite - but just as bad - phenomenon going on: I believe shouting out unreflected gotcha!-style rebuttals to comments has become somewhat of a sport around here, to the point where I sometimes wonder if misunderstanding the original comment was maybe an intentional act.
- vorg 10y ago> misunderstanding the original comment was maybe an intentional act Some people scan comments looking for specific things that conflict with some narrative they're promoting, usually with regards to a product. They will: * only reply to comments that are going to be seen by many people, e.g. those near the top, at certain times of the day, within a certain time of being posted * write the reply in the shortest amount of time * write a reply that deflects attention away from the original comment, irrespective of whether that reply makes any sense
