You can be less of a coward and reply to my comment, since you are talking about me personally, rather than mentioning me by name elsewhere.

gingerBill and I were disagreeing, sure, but at least we were arguing on topic. I fail to see what is insightful about your comment than just pointing and saying 'get a load of this guy.'

Thanks for your input, you can take a seat now.



I wasn't talking to you.

Flagged.


Casting aspersions at others behind their back, and then claiming "I wasn't talking to you" when called out for it, is not a productive or civil mode of discourse. Please don't.


The pompous response from zahlman is at least as bad ... accusing me of "casting aspersions" and then saying that I was "called out" by a comment that calls me a coward and tells me to "take a seat"? Can one possibly be more lacking in evenhandedness?

I forget that my HN frontend has a mute feature ... applying it to both of these.
