Not reflexively.
- fu9ar 11y agoSTOP MAKING PEDANTIC, ESOTERIC, ARGUMENTS ON PUBLIC FORUMS LIKE YOU ARE SO FUCKING CLEVER. YOU ARE NOT.
- cpach 11y agoPlease be civil.
- fu9ar 11y agoI realize that it is unpopular, but civility would not have made my point. I appreciate your input.
- delecti 11y agoI can't respond to your other comment because it's flagged, so I'll respond here. I think most people don't mind pedants. The comment got a handful of upvotes, so clearly on the whole the addition was appreciated. It's absolutely possible to be a jerk about correcting someone, but a simple dispassionate "I think you meant X instead of Y" can be helpful.
- fu9ar 11y agoThis platform actively discourages downvoting, so a couple people out of hundreds or thousands of viewers deciding to upvote you doesn't mean that the addition was appreciated. I thought you meant exactly what you said, and I meant exactly what I said, passion and all. Regardless of the community sanctions, I still mean it.
- TallGuyShort 11y agoI'm just confused about the angry implication that they keep doing this. Looking back 60 days I don't see a single other comment like that...
