Nice, -4 points, somebody, many somebodies in fact, took that personally and yet were unable to express where they disagree in a comment.

Look, if you think I am wrong, you can surely put it into words. OTOH, if you don't think I am wrong but feel that way, then it explains why I see no coherent criticism of my statements.



When your comment is about how you can’t take your counterparty seriously and they’re a joke, you’re incentivizing people who disagree to just downvote and move on.

The signal you’re sending is that you are not open to discussing the issue.


It's a fallacy. Someone being utterly wrong and dismissing them for it so does not logically make me claim easily dismissible.


Yea, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.
