How does that answer the question? I'm asking how to solve problem, the response is who needs to receive the blame? Edit: See edit above. The question isn't whom to blame, the question is how to resolve the issue. Blaming people

Please see my edit, I missed a crucial part of your reply. (And I think it answers your question as to how: i.e. don't respond harshly when you don't have to, whether to me or anyone else. There were lots of gentler options availa

...Wow. Both of those comments were direct responses to the topic and your second example in fact had 8 upvotes and others who supported it as well. I suppose in addition you'd naturally hope for me to assume this was a totally unbiase

What does it mean when you say you marked it as off topic? I don't see any such notes even in incognito, I'm not sure what it means.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. I thought a check was a permission to withdraw rather than a guarantee of available money, kind of like a paper form of an ACH withdraw (which is why I thought we had cashier's checks and such). I did s

Is a check really fine? I presume if a VC is willing to give so many other things and renege on them then he might well give a check that bounces too?

by wfunction 9y ago
Yeah, because I realized it's useless. Thankfully others seem to be doing it anyway. Or perhaps I should say sadly, knowing they're just feeding a troll.

I seem to recall feeling similarly a few times when we did have black bars. Sadly I don't remember who they were (which I suppose vaguely confirms what I'm saying?) but I do remember being surprised that I hadn't heard of t

Yeah. I'm more or less convinced sparky_z has the correct answer, see above.

That's more valuably left as an exercise for the reader.

If it was a private thing I would be totally with you, but the black bar's entire purpose is to send a public message to the community. It seems natural for the public reading the message to wonder why it was sent (or omitted) on a giv

That's a good point, I don't recall everyone who's had a black bar, though the few I do were in tech. I guess it would be an odd list to keep, but if anyone happens to know of one that exists, I'd be curious to see the l

Still bothers me that we didn't get a black bar. Can someone explain what the criterion is?

I think the complaint was that the parent had a young child, not merely a child. Without actually taking a stance on the topic, it seems quite a reasonable argument that, while you have a young child, you shouldn't actively go arou

Thanks dang. The note about scale makes sense; I can't really tell how I would've read the comment before the edit, but it seems plausible that I would've read it similarly to you. And the point about how people respond: it m
