Aug 24, 2016 at 15:49 comment added Ryan Babchishin @HBruijn Yes almost always comments. Those were just examples... there's way more out there... I just thought of a few off the top of my head.
Aug 24, 2016 at 15:45 comment added HBruijn Mod The reactions that appear to concern you are seldom found in answers. I see them primarily in comments, which are designed to be short, allow little formatting and can only be revised for 5 minutes. Among others their intended purpose is for "constructive criticism that guides the author" where the constructive sometimes appears to fall to the wayside in the abruptness of the short remark, IMHO
Aug 24, 2016 at 15:38 comment added Ryan Babchishin @yagmoth555 I don't understand. Do you mean people reply back to you impolitely?
Aug 24, 2016 at 15:37 comment added yagmoth555 Mod @RyanBabchishin Yeah, but it can be seen as impolite, and often the answer I get are. So, it's tied to the be polite argument IMO.
Aug 24, 2016 at 15:37 comment added Ryan Babchishin FYI, there is no right or wrong. This is an open question to all users. I want to know what people think. If everyone is happy to ignore the rules that SF has defined, then so be it. I'm just asking. :)
Aug 24, 2016 at 15:34 comment added Ryan Babchishin @yagmoth555 I'm not talking about being direct... nothing wrong with that.
Aug 24, 2016 at 15:33 comment added yagmoth555 Mod @RyanBabchishin I'am not a native english, and I agree with HBruijin, as often I tend to cut the lenght of my sentence to not make typo, but I may appear really direct, while in fact I just dont want to write 10 typo in my sentence.
Aug 24, 2016 at 15:29 comment added Ryan Babchishin I'm interpreting this as a no. Right? What about the "Be Nice" page? Should we change it? Calling things turds and telling people to go read poetry? LARTing people?
