Yet another social-media whatchamaycallit.
Somehow I end up not following my own advice and simplifying and making only one point per comment. That way people wouldn't focus on a minor thing about it and ignore the rest of it.
(The advice being: I think a good part of the reason why some one-line comments end up getting so many upvotes is because they say only one thing. The more things you try to say then the more reasons there will be for people to disagree and downvote you so no one else reads your message.)
- mikestew 9y agoYour post had so many straw men that I advise <no_smoking> tags around your post. It’s not that there was so much to disagree with, but rather I couldn’t suss your point beyond “the hive mind is hypocritical”, which...doesn’t leave me much to argue with.

- rainbowmverse 9y agoYour comment ranged from unhinged rant to moderate and reasonable depending on which edit you were on. I decided to focus on the part that was both consistent and worth addressing.
- jhiska 9y agoThank you for addressing the reasonable and consistent part of my unhinged rant. I know what the real problem is. No rapport was established. You are in the defensive because you feel I corrected you as well and thus passed judgement. It's human relationships.
