A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I was simply adding information your comment had left out, it wasn’t negating information at all. So congrats on getting the point, not everyone is trying to argue 🎉

You may want to reconsider your phrasing then if you don’t want it to appear to be argumentative.

[–] ConstableJelly@beehaw.org 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Neutral party here, I read it naturally as a supplement to your comment, not an opposition. I don't detect an argumentative tone personally.

You’re welcome to your opinion but these phrases

I feel like the opening sentences explained the reasoning behind the article sufficiently,

They’re not the only ones pointing this out, either.

are oppositional in tone.

If you ask me, you seem to be looking for a fight here.

I didn’t ask you. I didn’t ask the other neutral guy either. Not my issue that you have a problem with me suggesting the original respondent check his phrasing to make his intention clear, or pointing out the specific phrases that make it unclear.

"Everybody on this highway is driving in the wrong lane! What a bunch of idiots!"

The only reason this continues is because you morons insist on it. I stand by my feedback to the person who responded to me, whether you like it or not. Get over it, you’re not going to harass me into changing my mind about it.

The funny part is I wasn’t picking a fight, that’s what you douchebags are doing with the ongoing commentary. For me this would have been done and forgotten about already.

Assuming good faith, I don't see the argumentative part.

I already addressed this in reply to someone else, you only wasted your time here.

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

Maybe. And yet, this also didn't sound particularly nice.
