I didn't say anything even remotely like they should not blog at all. Someone posted their opinion, some people disagreed with it - and escaped your criticism of "I don't have anything to say about the subject" - and I agreed with it.
If this happens any time this author is posted there's obviously something to the criticism of the style.
As for your aside, "if you don't like it, don't read" is also not a particularly interesting contribution, to be honest.
- aeontech 6y agoI didn’t mean to imply that you said they should not blog at all. I should have been clearer - this is something the author themself said in the past (linked in a sibling reply). For them, due to the way their mind works, that is the choice - they have tried long-form blogging and found themselves incapable of ever completing a post. I can relate to that experience in some ways. I am not saying Twitter is a great platform for this type of thing - clearly it’s not.
- pmachinery 6y agoFair enough, and thanks. If I'd known the criticism was old news I wouldn't have added to it, or at worst done so ironically. I just saw someone posting similar thoughts to my own and basically let them know they weren't alone. I now know what to expect if I do read more in future, but regardless of my opinion of the style, I definitely rather people post/publish in any form rather than not post at all. Anything that can inform people about something they weren't previously aware of is a good thing.
