- dang 2y agoI'm not questioning your experience at all—the trouble is that you have a lot of context pre-loaded into memory, which readers of internet comments completely lack. If you don't want to come across the wrong way, you need to account for that beforehand. Basically how I often put it is: the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate. That's especially true when it comes to your intent, which is something only you have access to. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=burden%20disambiguate%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
