- WilliamEdward 7y agoI'll protest this guideline. People need to be called out more on not reading articles, it happens way too often here. I'm guilty of it too.
- millzlane 7y agoI think calling people out would be against the ethos of the site. The first guideline for comments is Be kind. And not snarky. Sure some people may need it but I don't think it contributes anything good to the community. Some discussions could be about or related to the submission's title and not the actual article.
