Hey.
These are the four simple lines that I wrote above:
>Solid questions and comments, layer8.
>I notice that the person you replied to has not replied to you yet.
>It may be that they will, of course.
>But your points are good.
(Italics mine, and they were not in my original comment.)
You, above:
>when they replied almost immediately after with a video of the relevant workflow,
I did check the time intervals between the top level comment and layer8's comment, before my first reply. It is over an hour now, so I cannot see the exact times in minutes any more, but IIRC, there was a fairly long gap (in minutes). And I also think I noticed that the top level person did reply to someone else, but not to layer8, by the time I wrote my comment.
So I don't see anything wrong in what I said. I even said that they may reply later.
You consider that to be:
>"Not-so-subtly mocking"?
Jeez. I think you are wrong.
Then I have nothing further to say to you, except this:
>was not a move that made you look smart or nice.
Trying to look smart or nice is not the goal in online discussions. At least, I don't think so. You appear to think that. The goal (to me) is to say what you think, otherwise, why write at all?
I could just get an LLM to write all my comments, and not care about its hallucinations.
I don't try to be smart or nice, nor the reverse. I just put my considered thoughts out there, just like anyone else. Obviously I can be right or wrong, just like anyone else can be. And some points can be subjective, so cannot be said to be definitely either right or wrong.
- kristiandupont 2y agoYou were being passive aggressive and adding nothing to the discussion. The fact that you weren't wrong doesn't make any difference.
- fuzztester 2y ago>You were being passive aggressive and adding nothing to the discussion. What arrant nonsense! Don't accuse people falsely or without substantiating your accusation. My comment being referred to above, consisted of four simple short lines. I am not going to bother to paste them here again for a third time. Those HN readers who wish to do so, can go the few needed levels up this thread and check for themselves: Nothing I said in those four lines can be interpreted as being passive-aggressive. I say that you do not know what the heck you are talking about, if you claim that I was passive-aggressive in that comment.
- smokel 2y agoPlacing statements on separate lines does come off as somewhat aggressive. It may be subtle, but I got a similar impression.
- fuzztester 2y agoYour comment is so hilarious that I need some time to analyse its implications and think of a suitable reply. Mañana.

- andrewflnr 2y agoIf a comment is not at least one of smart or nice, it's a waste of space and attention. That may not be your purpose, but don't act shocked when people respond with negativity.
