But your language choice means that you do disapprove. Clearly.
That's like the classic of saying "no offense" after you realise it was actually a obviously offensive thing to say. It doesn't change anything and is a semantically meaningless statement, and you still were offensive.
I dislike how HN'ers attach meaningless disclaimers like these at the end of every sentence they make because they're so afraid of getting downvoted. It just goes to show how much damage over-moderation, echo-chambers, and such things make to honest and legitimate discourse.
If you want to make a statement at least own it.
- Quarrelsome 9y agoyes but I identify as a hipster, so..... I dislike how people project into comments they read. For example YOU have projected that I am not confident in the comments I make because of how I suffix them. That's distasteful and if you want to experience the wrath of my will then you're more than welcome to a personal meet up. So, case in point: If I don't add disclaimers at the end people read their own meanings into what I say and people get mad at me even though I never meant what they thought I meant. Disclaimers are a product of the universal effect of the internet where the reader could be almost anyone in the world. If I'm talking to people I can see the facial expressions of I do not add these disclaimers.
