I have to say I appreciated but also laughed at the sheer number of the qualifiers you're discussing in your post... "it feels to me", "I find I", "I do wonder"

I find it makes for less combative discussions. So I like it.
- klodolph 4y agoI'd say that these qualifiers are much more useful in informal communication, like HN, and inappropriate for long-form stuff like essays. Essays are longer, more coherent, and denser.
- mikkergp 4y agoI think it’s more distasteful in the modern clickbait blog world then more intellectual and well thought out books/essays/etc, where your perspective is not designed for a purely emotional response.
