My friend, you don't know exactly what I'm thinking. You're writing this to an idea of a person that you constructed for yourself. It's not going to match most of the people reading your article.
I would drop the second person narration. I don't know what you were going for, but I'm not having "omg are you god" moments when reading this.
The presumption that you can predict all my assessments and responses is condescending in an annoying way, and detracts from the point you're trying to make.
- Nevermark 4y agoi think perhaps the relentlessly obnoxious voice of the diatribe was part of the point (and a big part humor). They are Class A, while you, dear reader are Class B. The author, with all the power over their expression on their site, can characterize you however they want. You can complain, but the site remains unmoved.
- kayamon 4y agoIndeed, very much the article's point. Dogs kept behind fences always be barking the loudest.
- Sakos 4y agoI think it makes sense. I thought it obnoxious at first but after re-reading it and realizing who the article is actually talking about (team B is not necessarily the reader), I quite like it.
