You should follow the rules when you're attempting to claim someone else is not following the rules.
> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
- brigandish 6y agoI didn't dismiss anything, nor did I take the weakest plausible interpretation - I followed up by asking for a clarification. Anything else you would like my help with? Edit: Ah! I see now. You're bothered by my response to you the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23730545 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23730545 That's childish. Please, go and play somewhere else.
- fzeroracer 6y agoI didn't even see your reply until you brought it up. More often than not for things like that I'll drop my perspective and leave. Otherwise if I took umbrage with your comment I would've actually replied which since you seemed to look through my post history you can also see I'm not one to shy away from an argument for better or worse. But it seems like you're not interested in sticking to the rules yourself funnily enough. If you want to assume there was some grand conspiracy instead of me just reading a thread and seeing a bad remark by all means.
- brigandish 6y ago> But it seems like you're not interested in sticking to the rules yourself funnily enough. Telling someone they appear to be breaking the rules and then asking them to clarify (something they refused to do or walk back) is uncharitable? What is the best way to interpret that comment? I'd love to hear.
