Sure, it's a watercooler, with Blockwarts that seek to prevent any discussion of the giant yellow bulldozer outside the window, but when you ask them if they don't have to work sometimes, they never make the case why other people can only talk about what they like. They just stare, and then interrupt again. > Please don't post shallow dismissals The person I replied to picked the part from a link I did NOT quote, ignored what I did I quote, everything else I wrote, and said "this one is easy". And then even that "one easy thing" was just a straw man. They used the phrase "owing receipts" to refer to something I said, misrepresenting or rather simply not caring about the contexts that did refer to, instead making up a straw man, what they preferred imagining it to be. I obviously ignored the straw man, and re-used their word "receipts" instead of repeating my original phrasing, but it's the same thing. It means what it actually means, not what the straw man made it out to be. Don't say random shit. That's implied in not posting shallow dismissals, random shit is a subset of shallow dismissal. And if you can't rephrase what you said, or how it's applicable or relevant, because you haven't thought about it at all, because it's literally just a knee-jerk "no u" or some slogan, then no, of course you shouldn't say it. I mean, I don't care, I can easily refute it. But for me it just takes up space to refute something that would have been prevented by being parsed by the author first, instead of me parsing it first.
