It’s not at all clear to me that this comment breaks the guidelines.
- dang 2y agoI appreciate that. I was thinking of ones like these: "Don't be snarky." "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." "Converse curiously; don't cross-examine." Most people (me included) underestimate the amount of provocation in their own comments (but feel it keenly in others'). To avoid running afoul of this dynamic, it's best to err on the side of making sure that you're following the rules. A sort of safety factor if you will.
