The first five comments I read more or less all disagreed with pg's basic premise. Whether or not those people are even right, that's quite depressing in and of itself.
- gus_massa 12y agoFrom the guidelines: > Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation. > When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. I think that disagreeing comments are not discouraged, if they are civil and if possible have a strong technical argument. [Note: I upvote the submission, and a few of the disagreeing comments, because I think the article is in the right direction but too optimistic.]
- bshimmin 12y agoI'm not sure if you've replied to my comment unintentionally, but I fail to see where what I've written lacks civility or even expresses disagreement; it is simply an observation. (I should note that I am not complaining about my comment being down-voted - that would both be against the rules and suggest that I cared in the slightest, which I do not.)
- gus_massa 12y agoPerhaps my comment is not clear. I don't think that your comment is bad. [Note: I did't downvote it.] I only think that it's not bad that some comments try to explain the weak points of an article and try to get a more deep discussion.
