Your comment is actually one of the ones in the thread that replied to mine that I found least inane, so I will stash this downthread of my reply to you:
I think a lot of the stuff Cade Metz is alleged to say above is dumb as shit and is not good behavior. However, I don’t need to make bad metaphors, abuse the concept of logical validity, or do anything else that breaks my principles to say that the behavior is bad, so I’m going to raise an issue with those where I see them and count on folks like you to push back the appropriate extent so that we can get to a better medium together.
Edit: I think it’s bad form to change wording in a year-old comment, so I won’t, but I just got an upvote ping for this and I could strangle year-ago Alex for saying “least inane” when he meant to compliment the author. What a dumb mistake to make, paying a backhanded complement instead of a real one! I think this thread was good and the other people in it deserved more effusive praise for it than I offered.
