You’re interpereting it as someone being witty, but consider that people have legitimate concerns and are supplying mountains of concrete evidence for their position.
- andybak 7y agoI wasn't disputing the validity of their complaint. That's orthogonal to being unfunny through repetition.
- ghusbands 7y agoClaiming that them saying it is them thinking they are being witty is disputing the validity of their complaint.
- andybak 7y agoFor example: I could constantly remark on the current bad weather using an unfunny joke. Somebody could complain about my terrible sense of humour without implying it was actually lovely outside.
- ghusbands 7y agoYou're still claiming that people are saying it just to be witty/funny. They aren't. It is a legitimate concern that people should be informed of, if they aren't aware.
- andybak 7y ago> You're still claiming that people are saying it just to be witty/funny. You see that word "just" in there? That's the bit I disagree with. It is possible to both agree with someone and dislike how they express themselves.
