I don't particularly agree with the parent comment, but you are being oddly aggressive over something that is a real problem - communicating things is hard and it's a useful topic to consider in a world that increasingly runs on text-based communication.
- cptskippy 5y agoInsulting and making fun of people because they have a problem isn't helpful but ok, but responding "aggressively" to insults is bad?
- scrollaway 5y agoI don't see any insults or "making fun of people" in the comments you're responding to. You're choosing to see that. Apply the Principle of good faith and you'll see you're the one getting worked up over nothing...
- cptskippy 5y agoI'm sorry you feel like I'm worked up but please don't put that on me. I've linked to the OP's original comment but to paraphrase: "LOL, I can't take anyone seriously when they use Imperial units. It's unprofessional." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28449058 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28449058
