> Think long and hard why you felt it necessary to make your comment and what value it actually provided.

Yeah, that's what I was telling the other poster in a nicer way. Same goes to you. You can provide advice without repeating criticism for no reason when the person specifically said they did something wrong.

And save me the lecturing on "long and hard." My comment has 15 upvotes, so it's pretty unlikely I'm the one off the mark in this conversation.

That statement is a joke, here it is reworded:

> A person should be invulnerable to criticism as long as they make a humbling remark.

Doesn't sound so great now does it.

Also, I'm not surprised you got 15 upvotes. This place has ceased to be a hacker forum for many years now. Too many eternal politically correct Septembers.

A strawman argument + when your view is not popular, the environment must be the problem. Classic undefeatable argument. I'm surprised you have problems getting along here.

You were the one using upvotes to validate your argument when it's a fact that posting a political opinion in either a left and right forum will net highly different responses. Of course the environment plays a part.

Won't even bother dissecting the first shot. Your arguments have been weak at best till now this final one was the final straw, man.
