If you are going to studiously ignore convention, please do it consistently weirdly.
The list of issues is not a list.
Oh well. In the end the message is the thing and not the medium. Ideally the medium might be a bit more conventional to enable readers to follow the argument and not have to mentally adjust the text.
- ashton314 1y ago> In the end the message is the thing and not the medium Ah, but to quote the philosopher Marshal McLuhan, the medium is the message. What does a tweet say? “This is a bite-sized idea that’s easy to understand.” What does a poorly-punctuated blog post say? “These ideas are sloppy.” What does a book say? “This is a more serious argument than you find online.” (alternatively, “I am looking for profit.”) What does a HN comment say? “This is my hot-take trying to sound smart.”
