Why does no one understand what I said in this thread and I'm just being mass downvoted?
EDIT: downvoting this too, still with zero explanation? this didn't used to happen. maybe HN really is getting worse.
- brazzy 15y agoOr maybe your comment was just an instance not very useful (and downright wrong) nitpicking. Arguing that a large-scale, organized boycott does not constitute "coercion or compulsion" or that anything that does not involve physical violence should not be called a "fight" is just inane.
- xenophanes 15y agoWhy is that "insane"? Do you believe I'm mentally ill? How is it "nitpicking" to talk about whether something uses violence or not?
- brazzy 15y agoI did not write "insane". I wrote "inane", which was not a typo. It's nitpicking to argue about the definition of words, especially when the usage you're criticizing is a widely accepted figurative use.
