- endisneigh 5y agoEven before my edit, I never implied the bot was effective or good, though. The bots effectiveness and the thing it purports to do are two separate matters.
- bmelton 5y agoPlease note that the context you seem missing is the original submission, which I am guessing you hadn't looked at before your edit. So my point was that "irrespective of the inherent goodness of gender neutral language, this bot is flawed" which was neither implied nor inferred by your original submission, but which is relevant to the discussion of both gender neutral language's adoption and also but more specifically to this submission.
- endisneigh 5y agoI did look at the original submission. My original comment explicitly said and still says the bot sucks. My comment is around what the bot is trying to do in principal, not what it has failed to do in practice
- bmelton 5y agoWell there you have it. Mine is about what it's doing in practice, which is I believe the point of the article. That said, I believe your original comment was just `Is switching to gender neutral pronouns bad?`
- endisneigh 5y agoNah it was the first three sentences. I just added more and a line break
