Who is "we"?

Who is "we"?
- gritzko 8y agoMe and the other guy. I am Victor Grishchenko, PhD. At the time, we had a CRDT based sync engine which we white-labelled to Yandex. We had been eager to work with Evernote cause all their sync issues have been very clear to us. These days, even Apple Notes syncs with CRDTs... at the time, it was cutting-edge. P.S. Please never let me feel that my response is more polite than necessary.
- fabiandesimone 8y agoI'm intrigued by your P.S. Mind expanding on why?
- ambicapter 8y agoNot OP but I think that may be a way of saying, in effect, if one person is being more polite than the other, then they might feel like they are being "more polite than necessary". So his P.S. is saying "please match my politeness level", or, possibly, "You are being impolite, compared to me. Fix that" in an oblique manner.
- barkingcat 8y agothe wording is quite weird, since people can't really control other people's feelings so how am I to know that I've made them feel a certain way?
- ambicapter 8y agoContinuing to play devil's advocate, I think implicit is the expectation that all parties know good manners when they see them, which could be yet another way of putting people down in that statement.
- barkingcat 8y agoThe people who are rude won't care.
- PhantomGremlin 8y agoBased on the guy's name and the fact that he worked with Yandex, he's probably Eastern European, perhaps Russian. In other words, English is probably not his native language. So let's not overthink this.

- roelvdven 8y agoWhy is your response so polite?
- klank 8y agoIt's interesting, because I didn't find anything in the OP's response to be particularly polite. Sure, it wasn't impolite either. With the exception of that postscript though. If it's as passive aggressive as it sounds then I'd consider it rather impolite.
