From the post I originally responded to:
> when you have nothing nice to say, the polite people say nothing, and the impolite people say the impolite thing.
I’m genuinely confused by this sentiment. Does this poster think they’re saying something nice? Or are they intentionally outing themselves as impolite by opting not to say nothing?
It seems genuinely funny to assume the role of the judge of who is or isn’t “polite” while violating their own rules about who is “polite”
To further rephrase that: That appears to be (without clarification) a very amusing moralizing statement that provides no value whatsoever other than to directly contradict its own premise.
Usually I classify comments as polite or rude, not people. I guess GP is the arbiter of personality though?
