He's pointing out that it's ironic to come into a thread about not shooting ideas and do nothing more than shoot down the idea. It's literally the exact behavior described in like the first paragraph of the article. It IS ironic.
- ceejayoz 7mo agoIt’s only ironic if the headline is correct. Or are you ironically shooting down my idea that it is a skill?
- kulahan 7mo agoNo, irony does not depend on correctness. When the discussion is X, if your only input is -X, then it's ironic in the face of a discussion on shooting down ideas.
- ceejayoz 7mo agoYes, irony depends on correctness. It would be ironic for me to make a typo while bashing your spelling prowess. It would not be ironic if I didn’t. It is similarly ironic that the Alanis Morrisette song about irony mostly mentions non-ironic things; “rain on your wedding day” isn’t ironic! And that’s ironic!
