I genuinely thought it would spark an interesting discussion about how certain businesses are run, that is related to this article.
Can you please clarify what is wrong with that exactly?
I've been a part of this site for like 10 years, and I think that any site that invites public comments is bound to have controversial topics come up. Further, I do my damn best to be respectful on this website, so your blanket characterization of my comments is unfair.
- dang 5y agoIt's just that the comment was a generic, shallow dismissal with no actual information in it. Also arguably name-calling, since "ponzi scheme" has morphed a pretty generic pejorative. I appreciate that you put effort into being respectful on this website! That of course counts for a lot, in fact it's the most important thing. It's just that generic/unsubstantive comments are a separate issue.
- mmazing 5y agoAlso, my comment was definitely not a dismissal of the person I was replying to, it was intended to agree with them. Clearly, that wasn't clear. Text is hard to convey tone and context. :)
- mmazing 5y agoI get it, it's a problem that I have where I tend to rely on responses to fully flesh out my ideas. I would love to have a bullet proof fully reasoned human readable argument, but many times it's hard to translate abstract thoughts into text. Will try to do better, I really enjoy this site and the content/discussion in comments.
