Regarding the downvotes, it may have to do with the fact that the person you're accusing of not having read the article happens to be the author of said article. I think they know what's in the article and are a bit of an authority on its intent.
If you're getting a lot of signals that you're wrong, it's often worthwhile to stop and consider why, rather than dig a deeper hole.
- downandout 8y agoActually, I'm not wrong. Have you looked at the title of this thread or the article? Both are heavily focused on GDPR. He has commented here that he meant it more broadly, but the article and the title both are heavily focused on GDPR. I'm not sure how anyone could question that, the text is there for everyone to read. The downvote issue stems from threads about GDPR. There are many GDPR zealots on here, some of whom have bookmarked my comments page and downvote every comment I make because I have been critical of it. So each and every comment starts off with 3-4 downvotes, regardless of content (including this one, within about 30 seconds).
