For information I’d also qualify Said’s statement as unkind (because of “saying it out loud is trite”) if I modeled him as having understood or caring about Duncan and his point, but because that’s not the case I understand Duncan just seeing it as not useful. “Rude” is a classification depending on shared social norms. On LW I don’t think people are supposed to care about you, the basic assumption is more Rand like individuals who trade ideas because it’s positive sum. That a lot of people happen to be nice is a nice surprise, but it’s not expected, and I have gotten value from Said’s comments in many places over time so I feel the LW norm makes sense.
fair enough.
