- tzs 4y agoIf you want to assert that someone didn't read the article but have a good chance of avoiding the downvotes a nice hack is to post something like > Good point. Here's an article that covers it. and then give a link to the submitted article. The best part is that this is ambiguous. It could be you are trying to subtly accuse them of not reading the article, but it could also be that you yourself did not read the article and went looking for an answer to their point, found the article, and linked it never realizing it was the submitted article. People who can't tell if you are being a passive-aggressive jerk or genuinely trying to be helpful are less likely to downvote.
