If it was some anonymous blowhard on the internet I was calling stupid, I'm sure few if any people would object. But it's a member of the elite, and therefore we have to be respectful. It's a stupid uncritical piece that reflects poorly on the writer.
- davidw 17y agoSomeone being an "elite" has nothing to do with it. I don't care who it is; you should talk as if you're talking to someone's face. This is a guideline that's been here for a while ("Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation.") because it works well in keeping the discussion focused on the issues, rather than degrading into pissing matches.
