Person a: I like the blue stuff in oranges
Person b: what are you even talking about? Oranges do not have a blue inside.
Now what is a swipe about this or breaking a guidline. It did give the impression ( to me at least) as if I was being picked on. But I think in reality you probably misunderstood the tone and intent. Of course this is just my opinion, what you say is the law here and I intend to abide.
- dang 7y agoI believe you, but intent unfortunately doesn't communicate itself well in internet forums, so the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20burden%20disambiguate&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... In this case the phrase was one that commonly communicates dismissiveness, which is why I interpreted you the way I did. If you read the guidelines it's clear that (to take your example) such a reply can be shortened to "Oranges do not have a blue inside". However: no harm done! I appreciate your reply and your intention.
