Do you need a background in instructional design to have an opinion on this? ;-)

Do you need a background in instructional design to have an opinion on this? ;-)
- bluetwo 9y agoNo. Not what I'm saying. I'm asking for an option from someone with particular experience. That doesn't invalidate the options of others, snowflake.
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoDrop the "snowflake". Gratuitous personal insults don't belong on HN. You have a valid point without it. Leave it at the valid point, without the personal dig.
- bluetwo 9y agoAnyone who claims to be offended by an honest question on behalf of some unnamed party is a snowflake, in my opinion.
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoFeel free to hold that opinion. But saying it is counterproductive. It leads at least some of your readers to dismiss you as a jerk, rather than hearing your message. [Edit: Oh, yeah. It's also against HN site guidelines. Saying such things repeatedly can get you banned.]
- bluetwo 9y agoWhen someone misinterprets a rather clear communication and claims to be offended by the result, I'm going to point that out. If that offends you, that's your problem. Or, look at it as a life-hack: Don't waste your time protecting the feelings of a non-existant group of people.
