>In fact, in technical discussion, not conveying too much emotion is a great advantage..

But I'd just like to remind you that even the most hardcore engineering company cannot possibly having only technical discussions.

This really reminds me that how often HN miss the forest for the tree.

Your point is not very clear, sorry.

It seems that you have an emotional reaction to this topic, which seems to muddle your argument. May be take sometime to reflect and get back with more clarity?

If we were in a group, you would have noticed (or perhaps failed to notice) most people recoiling to your statement or giving you quizzical looks at your odd reaction to a valid point. The conversation would immediately shift away from the poor direction you took it, and towards something the group finds richer for discussion.

Here on the internet, we settle for letting you watch downvotes trickle in over time.

I honestly don't know how is my point not clear. Being able to have both face to face communication and technology based remote communication is better than being limited to the latter alone. I thought that was a pretty straight forward point.

I was simply reminding you that whatever advantage Slack/Email has over in-person communication for technical discussions, they lose that advantage for non-technical discussions, which are just as quintessential for an organization.
