What I said isn't a platitude. It is straight to the point.

  "a remark or statement, esp. one with a moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful." Your statement /was/ to the point. that doesn't make it not a platitude.

    A platitude would be, "Money doesn't buy happiness," or the equivalent. I specifically did not say that. I don't want to talk about this any further. We have misunderstood one another to the point that this isn't productive.

      >I don't want to talk about this any further. We have misunderstood one another to the point that this isn't productive. Oh man. A hacker news comment 'This isn't productive' Now you have me laughing. Seriously, I need to block news.ycombinator.com at my router again. I didn't even get one server up and ready today (though I dealt with several hard drives, a co-lo emergency and some social/business bullshit... I wasn't completely unproductive, but HN... did not help with that.)
