Sooo.... "be more professional in your writing"?

Why does this person owe you "professional writing" on their personal comment?

No, just more precise. It seems absurd to brand an entire community as "assholes" based on some disagreement with a blog post by one member. I suspect great GP didn't mean it that way, but it would help to have some clarification.

You’re really just helping to confirm his diagnosis.

To be precise, they said “the kind of contributors you attract with this kind of writing are just assholes” not “the community is only assholes” and also not “anyone who associates with him is an asshole". You’re strawmanning.
