(Regardless of my agreement with either you or ajross. "Get off the Internet for a while" reads close to "touch grass", which dang's specifically addressed: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40851991 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40851991>.)
- BriggyDwiggs42 1y agoYour latter source was “you sound like a basket case… touch grass” which has a completely different tone and somewhat different content.
- dredmorbius 1y agoI'd strongly recommend people read through mods' "no personal attacks" admonishments and the comments to which they're responding to. These often make the point that even a very mild (and unintentional) barb can read far more biting than it was written: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25982286 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25982286> This case is borderline, but I suspect mods would find it on the far side of that border. The original comment reads better without the swipe.
- BriggyDwiggs42 1y agoEh actually, on review of all the material, I fall more on your side. The original comment did have a (very mild) personal attack in it at the end of the day.
- dredmorbius 1y agoThanks, and yes it can be quite subtle.
