The blog post is an open letter: the author wants everyone reading to follow the those rules.

  No. Crocker's rules are a request for people to act a certain way with respect to you, not wrt anyone else.

    Crocker's rules themselves might be, but the essay is plainly contemptuous of people who aren't naturally disposed to follow them.

    Should every incident report be written twice, once for normal people and once for the developmentally challenged then?
    • devmor 7mo ago
      How do you figure that the author is “developmentally challenged”? It sounds to me like they are able to handle their insecurities in a more mature and emotionally balanced way than most others.

        They wrote an entire article about how they hate when someone says they hope they had a nice weekend...

          If that is what you took from the article I think you might have some language development issues yourself, friend.
          • slopinthebag 7mo ago
            Be more direct with me. Don't say things like "If that is what you took" or "I think", you're just wasting my time.

      … I don't know what your incident reports look like, but if there's anywhere it's normal to optimise for communicative clarity rather than social wheel-greasing, it's an incident report!
