This is precisely what I did in the post you are referring to.

I wasn't aware that these discussions are meant to be records for collective learning. I have been framing my replies as responses to particular positions, held and presented by particular people. In almost all situations I target the ideas presented and not the individuals, the exception being the comment you highlighted above. I definitely should have been more respectful in that instance. But I disagree with the notion that I've been trolling or making pointless personal attacks (even in that one case, I expanded upon my reasoning in lots of detail).
- dang 6y agoFor it to count as respectfully providing correct info, you have to omit the personal swipes. Fortunately that's not hard, though it sometimes requires an editing pass or two (that's how I do it).
