Comment by PebblesRox

That is a good point about the misappropriation of context. To often, the discussion consists of people misunderstanding each other or responding to minor points rather than the main point of the parent comment.

Plus any reply that's not the top reply is not shown adjacent to the comment it's replying to, which can make the discussion hard to follow. (Not sure there's a solution to this since we read linearly but a group discussion like this does not have a linear structure.)

I still read and enjoy the comments but it's a "choppy" experience in terms of context and that can leave me feeling dissatisfied when ideas don't have a chance to develop or really go somewhere.
