Would you prefer OC was more specific, ie “the author turned out to be a racist”, or do you have an issue with calling someone like this despicable?

Would you prefer OC was more specific, ie “the author turned out to be a racist”, or do you have an issue with calling someone like this despicable?
- linksnapzz 2mo agoI always read that word as though it were being pronounced by Daffy Duck; "you're dethpikable!".
- cwmoore 2mo agoIs it not obvious? Replace “fairly despicable” with “white nationalist” instead of whatever anyone might imagine could make a mathematician despicable?
- smokedetector1 2mo agoWhy does this shorthand upset you?
- cwmoore 2mo agoI am not upset. It is obviously obstusely, impenetrably vague. What is your problem?
- cwillu 2mo agoA shorthand is generally unambiguous in context; this was not.
- smokedetector1 2mo agoWhy does it matter to you so much that OC is unambiguous?
- IAmBroom 2mo agoObviously, I would prefer OC was more specific. I said as much.
- smokedetector1 2mo agoGenuine question: are you on the spectrum? I find this reaction strange
- IAmBroom 2mo agoWait... so you are perfectly OK with hating someone on the basis of some random online poster telling you that you should, with no explanation? Wow.
- smokedetector1 2mo agoI don’t automatically hate someone because someone calls them despicable
