guffaw! guffaw!
The physical demo might have been more true to the concept, perhaps. I noticed the same issue as you did. I just came to say that the mild shaming you applied in your comment is unkind and unnecessary. A good point need not be made with ridicule.
- gorgoiler 5y agoThanks for saying this. It made me think twice, even though I didn’t adjust my original post. I wasn’t being anywhere near as unkind as I think you think I was being, but still: language is everything. The guffaw! guffaw! part didn’t land objectively though. You might be doing the same thing of which you accused me. Just saying.
- lovemenot 5y agoYou are welcome. My wording of retort may have been a little too strong. >> I wasn’t being anywhere near as unkind as I think you think I was being, That's not for you to say. I only said I thought the comment was mildly unkind. Neither of us knows how it might have been taken by the actual object persons though. Nor the lurkers. My worry is the cooling effect that a large amount of indirect and minor snark could have on sensitive people. Individually ever-so-slightly, yet en masse broadly deterring them from a culture which seems permeated in it. Such as (to my mind) science.
