Yes?

  My intention was to object to the parent post replying with "No" to something that wasn't a question or a falsehood. I find it annoying and inflammatory and not conducive to good discussion. Since brevity is wit, I thought that would be a good way to get my point across without having to write an explanation like this one.

    > something that wasn't [...] a falsehood. This is a judgement that you personally made, without explanation. The person who you replied to thought that it was a bad analogy, and explained themselves.

      No. Make whatever judgement you like about how good the analogy was. Starting your answer with "no" might be appropriate if someone says "Fortran is a lisp" or "do you think cars can love", but it's not a cool thing to say if someone just states an opinion, regardless of whether or not you liked it.
