His nastygrams are awesome:
Subject: "stop"
Message: "Please don't rewrite headlines to change the meaning."
- brianwillis 14y agoThis doesn't seem too bad to me. This message is straightforward, not nasty.
- mindcrime 14y agoFWIW, I'm only using the term "nastygram" as a stock figure of speech. I didn't find the note I got from pg to be particularly nasty, although I did - and still do - disagree on this particular issue. shrug
- speeder 14y agoWhat issue?
- mindcrime 14y agoAdmins changing the titles of submitted links. There have been a few cases where it happened and the "fixed" title was worse than the one provided by the submitter to a pretty ridiculous degree. I said something about that on one such story, my comment was the most upvoted comment by far, and sparked a huge thread on the subject. Hence the "nastygram" from pg. No biggie, I understand that they don't want link titles full of gratuitous spin and editorializing, but sometimes the original title just isn't useful. But what can ya do... pg's site, pg's rules. :-)
- isalmon 14y agoI agree! How about this one: http://i.imgur.com/QwuX5aA.png http://i.imgur.com/QwuX5aA.png Edit: I'm talking about 'awesomeness' of his comments, not 'nastyness', don't take it out of the context pls.
- dmix 14y agoThat definitely fits the nasty criteria.
- hkmurakami 14y agoPersonally, this leans on the polite side to me.
- isalmon 14y agoIt was more about 'awesome' rather than 'nasty'.

- vacri 14y agoThat's not nasty, it's frank and polite.
- brazzy 14y agoCan we settle on "brusque"?
- stickbranch 14y agoI wonder if it caused as much trouble as his whole "new, revolutionary language" debacle.
- ddunkin 14y agoNasty is insulting your mom, the size of your penis, and your race. It's just short and straight to the point without a buncha fluff.
- Simucal 14y agoI'm curious, what was the subject of your remark that caused that response?
