If the author of Hare didn't want feedback on his language, or didn't want other people to use his language, he shouldn't have advertised it in blog posts and on sites like https://harelang.org/ https://harelang.org/, which is clearly an advertisement for the language. As it happens, he has. You might think "nobody will use the language", but if nobody pushes back and says why people shouldn't use the language, perhaps people will start to. It's really important that people do write feedback pieces like this, because it helps other people be informed about their choices.

Also early on in the language seems a great time to respond to feedback. 3 years in when it has traction is terrible, heh.

So what you're saying is basically: "he's asking for it", right?

  That's the point I make in the first paragraph, essentially. But the second paragraph is another reason.

    Do you think that this type of argument has more value when talking about Drew than about a victim of sexual abuse? I think the rhetoric of "asking for it" works equally poorly when applied to all aspects. And I will assume that your next comment will be about how the two don't compare. And I am in full agreement with that, except for the fact that trivializing abuse is another element that people use in this type of debate, and I believe that abuse is abuse. It might not have the same emotional impact on the victim, but the abuser psychology is similar in all cases, and the slippery slope of losing sensitivity to it begins with accepting discussion board bullying as normal. PS. However this discussion is at least an order of magnitude removed from TFA, which is not abusive, merely presumptuous and premature.

  That counter doesn’t have much force to it when we’re talking about mere argumentation and not violence.
