Making assumptions about the other person that set you up to argue against whatever position that entails is not what it means to be charitable. It is the opposite. It is uncharitable. (At least to the other person; it's charitable, perhaps, to you.)

There was no more purpose to that than reminding someone that they could have used UNC paths, URIs, 8.3 short names, ...
- pwdisswordfish9 4y ago> Using one of the correct path separators for the OS isn't necessary? Using backslash specifically is unnecessary. There's no point wasting more time here from this point onward. You either refuse to understand, or you understand and refuse to show it. It's not productive to believe that's not going to change.
- jjnoakes 4y agoHow is using forward slash less unnecessary than using backslash? So much more so that it needed to be pointed out without prompting? I mean backslash is the canonical path separator on Windows, so pointing out that one could use something else was helpful how? > You either refuse to understand, or you understand and refuse to show it I actually don't understand the motivation for the comment at all.
