- ska 7y agoI didn't see any feedback. Just a statement of questionable veracity that reads negatively, to me at least.
- dhruvkar 7y agoI wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Given that many users here aren't native English speakers/writers, the tone that might seem obvious to you & I, might actually be completely inadvertent.
- giarc 7y agoUsing the :D emoji at the end is a way for the author to reiterate the "No offense but..." type statement. The problem is, if they use that, it's likely they recognize their comment can be taken the wrong way and should have just rephrased it instead of taking the easy way out with the :D.
- ska 7y agoAgree that tone is hard, but regardless there is nothing constructive about the comment.
- soneca 7y agoI agree that not every critique is a personal attack. But this one is (or at least seemed like one to me). There is not one character of feedback in that sentence
