You can express annoyance at someone's pattern of behavior without it being personal. embedding-shape isn't the only person annoyed by pjmlp's repeated disdain and snark towards people who use C (or Zig or WebAssembly or Rust or...).

  I didn't see snark prior to being provoked, but this seems like a discussion with history beyond this scope so I think I'd better sit this out

  Usually I reply in the same tone as I get talked with, I have no qualms with touchy feeling culture of modern times.

    > Usually I reply in the same tone as I get talked with No, you're usually the initiator. Usually it's with some off-hand quip about how C programmers don't understand C, or how the people designing WebAssembly are ignorant of COM or the JVM, or how Zig is just Modula-2, etc. Most threads you participate in aren't filled with snark until you enter them.

      You can chose no to reply, you do reply, I answer in the appropriate tone.

Yeah, original/parent comment I wrote with a twinkle in my eye (hard to communicate though), hoping that the smiley at the end conveyed it, but I might have replaced ; with : mistakenly. I think many of us throughout the years been reading pjmlp's comments which fits a certain "theme". I don't mind though, it's just text after all, but was hard to keep myself from entering the meta-conversation when the opportunity just sat there. I still don't mean no harm by it, we all have our less agreeable ways of writing our comments, I'm surely guilty of it in some way too.

  I understand now this is old gripe, and we are all to blame for this guilty pleasure I think :)
