Interesting seeing this response after you just posted:
>If you can't be specific enough to be scientific about it, just keep it to yourself
Was this a tongue-in-cheek demonstration of your point? Or is vague criticism only unacceptable in academia?
- sdfhdhjdw3 4y agoThe post I was responding to was the example. I wanted to claim that you shouldn't make vague criticism. I immediately expected that people would respond as if my claim was that you shouldn't criticize. And sure enough, that's what the post I responded to did. Me: "You shouldn't make vague criticism" Response: "OMG you're saying university professors are above criticism." Do you think I'm being vague here? :-)
- vorpalhex 4y agoYou should re-read the response to your post. You are upset because you feel you are not being read, but the problem is that you are not reading others.
