I downvoted each contributor once. I don’t think the discussion is instrinsically bad and think there’s something worth discussing, but it’s not the topic of the post itself and not what I want it people to see by default. (interpret my downvote as “if you want to have this discussion [i.e. opinionated meta discussion about proper etiquette], you pay a tax to have the discussion”). I’d rather the conversation continue on Meta if people think it’s important.
(I also downvoted myself since I’m adding to the problem)
I agree with Raemon. I want to read about lex’s idea of target stress, not about lex’s use of capital letters, and I have no idea how to obtain this goal except, perhaps, writing a defense of not using capital letters and hoping the derailment works backwards.
just downvoted every reply in this subthread
Can you explain why?
