I can’t reply to your nth nested comment so I’ll do it here. You did call me racist, just like you did today. That’s how I knew EXACTLY which tweet it was 8 years later. Tweets can be deleted. I certainly don’t remember YOU as a person, you

Claiming I refused to “explicitly reject racism” “eight years ago” is a loaded statement. You might as well accuse me of having refused to deny I was beating me wife. That would also be true. And it would also be dishonest and manipulative.

I don’t have any ability to flag comments. You need to stop inventing fantasies about me and claiming they’re true. EDIT: and I switched accounts bc I forgot I made a newer one with my actual name bc I never log in here.

So you think you were trying to teach me with socratic dialogue by calling me racist? rather than asking, oh I don’t know, “what kind of goods”? You made your decision — you called me racist then and now — and now you’re dishonestly trying

Motivated reasoning. “She blocked me therefore I must be right!”

Some people have since reached out to me and told me: 1. The CEO randomly picks on women on twitter he thinks subtweeted him and writes their bosses 2. The same lock-out mechanism — plus the queue for deletion — happens if eg your credit ca

How is it obnoxious to expect to be able to log in and add a payment plan yourself? Literally every other Saas that serves business customers does that. None glibly say “oh yeah and your data’s queued for deletion, but you can ASK to be let

I really appreciate you saying that. Don’t worry about it, it’s not causing me any distress and I’m too sick to do anything productive right now anyway. But this place is a cesspit. This is actually a better experience than I would’ve expec

“mass produced hand made artisan goods” is not a thing. You’re inventing things and putting words in my mouth, just like you did originally, which is why you’re blocked. No, you can’t put words in someone’s mouth and say “you blocked me so

Dude are you mad I deprived you of my tweets for 8 years, or are you mad I’m supposedly a racist? You can’t have it both ways. This is weird. You should stop.

This is a really fun idea. Obviously when you do real user tests, they’re too professional to curse but finding and fixing UI friction by curses per minute is very appealing!

Yes she also willfully misread “mass produced goods” and asked me why I didn’t think Chinese artisans should use etsy for their handmade goods, a classic loaded question and a position I have never taken. The mass produced goods — that didn

Here’s the tweet you claim is racist — I know bc it’s the only time anyone has called me racist. I complained that Etsy w searches were dominated by mass produced goods from China . Not a slur on Chinese craft or people, but dismay at the

Over a decade, I went from doing grunt work freelancing — data entry, HTML conversion, etc — to charging about $500 an hour as a true consultant. Freelancers do what they're told. Consultants advise the client on what they should do.

seminar -> mailing list (aka newsletter, aka free) SEO bait -> a thing I wrote on my blog with the words "Apple Watch" in it like a million other pieces, there is literally zero chance of SEO doing a damn thing which, if you

1. I linked to hundreds of people saying exactly that thing, plus it's all over Twitter, the op-ed-osphere, in-person conversations, etc. 2. I argued very clearly: Apple Watch is not a watch. It occupies a similar spot on the wrist and

You call it the "shitty friend" thread is pretty inflammatory considering, again, that was the OP's own words (not mine). I turned on showdead and my dead comment that you're referring to sure looks reasoned and measured

by amyhoy 12y ago
Neither of your things in "quotes" are things that I said. The "shitty friend" was alexcap's own words. The phrase "think of, or care for, others" didn't show up in my comment at all. I didn't ca

He's not belittling it, he's (politely and patio11-ly) saying: "Stop putting this huge space between me and you because it isn't there, and you're short-selling yourself by pretending it is."

Our business makes several times what patio11's does and we are not a runaway success, either, not by a long shot. If you do not actually attempt to make a business — by selling something people need and already are willing to pay go

Take a peek at http://groupbuzz.com , developed by one of my students for just that problem. Its best use case is for paid communities of one kind or another.

That is a mischaracterization, don't you think? Every post I write says that conventional wisdom -- e.g. creating a product people want & need, and charging for it -- is right . And most of my blog posts are full of value, and act
