I am an engineer this was not a personal attack. Most people are not qualified and will never be rated to work on their own aircraft, in the same way they are not qualified to structurally engineer their homes or similar. Aircraft are not software projects and it's not really about php vs bugfixing.
Please identify which part of the post was a personal attack so I can fix it to your satisfaction
- dang 7y agoYour comment was almost entirely about the other person. You said "you" or "your" five times. Combining that with critical language and a prosecutorial style makes for personal attack, even if you didn't think that was what you were doing. How to fix it: don't mix personal language with sharp criticism, and don't use a prosecutorial style. We want curious conversation here, not cross examination. The guidelines cover all this and more: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html It sounds like you know a lot in this field. The very best thing to do in that case is not to go on about others' ignorance (demonstrated or assumed)—it's rather to share some of what you know, so the rest of us can learn.
- LegitShady 7y agoThat is fair. I didn't think it read that way and didn't intend it attackingly but factually. I can't edit that comment anymore though.
