(I note that I don’t think it’s rude so much as … not particularly useful? Like, it’s mostly evidence that Said (also JBlack) has completely failed to parse my point (and has failed to keep “maybe there’s something I’m not seeing/am blind to” in mind as a possibility, and instead concluded “there’s nothing here except something trite/trivial/silly.”))
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.
