The first comment, while maybe a bit "snarky", is still very relevant and right on point. The first line of your response is why you're getting down voted. Little bit of snark > calling a comment lame.
- pbreit 13y agoBut being snarkily sarcastic is lame while calling something out straightforwardly is not.
- mikeg8 13y agoI'd say the downvotes you're receiving might mean this community disagrees with you... but I'm just a messenger. You asked the question.
- pbreit 13y agoWow, I guess that's possible. But I wasn't that disagreeable with the post I replied to. I said it had some merit, identified a solid example to support my contention and then still hedged back towards the OP's side.
- foobarbazqux 13y agoI know that downvoting hurts (no sarcasm), but just try and remember that they're internet points. If you took out "although your snarky tone is lame" and "I don't find it necessary to belittle the effort here since" you would have been fine. Complaining about downvoting is also against the guidelines, even though everyone does it now and then.
