You personify the problem, this kind of valueless snark is not welcome here.

As the OP was suggesting, I'm just trying to provide my feedback in a more pleasant way. On the other hand, your feedback seems to be rather harsh and all negative. Unless you were trying to be ironic. In which case I say brilliant!

  • ORLY?

    You:

    * implied the possibly they might not be a human (perhaps a bot?)

    * used exceedingly formal language in an informal setting, fully knowing this appears like you are talking down to someone

    * noted they made a typo - the "valueless" part mentioned

    * say it is with "deep regret" that you noted that typo - I doubt you had any regret whatsoever

    In short, your comment does highlight the issues fairly well.

    • You lost me for a minute there with parts of your comment until I realized you were thinking this was a different comment from months ago. But you got it for the most part. I was not suggesting they were not human. I was trying not to offend them if, in fact, they turned out not to be human (I was thinking alien... not bot... bots don't get offended). While formal language can be thought of as lofty these days when no one really speaks like that, it is also how people used to speak. It always cracks me up when I see movies set in that day and the people say the most absurd, inane things yet seem to do it so eloquently and with a smile. They make it seem so pleasant. I was going for old-timey pleasant... not current day lofty. True, pointing out a typo is largely useless, but it was necessary due to my previous point about lofty/pleasant language. True, I had no regret. Really, I was just trying to illustrate that rolling a turd in chocolate and nuts does not make it an Almond Roca.

  • Go fuck yourself.

    I don't care to spend the time to dress up my reply as you seem to do. All your comments can be succinctly stated as, "Go fuck yourself." But you feel the need to apply some pseudo-intellectualism/cleverness to prove your point. You're not better than everyone else. You're not smarter than everyone else. And you don't know better than everyone else. And before you say, "Well I never said that." Your attitude just screams of this kind of arrogance/know-it-all-ness.

    So really, go fuck yourself. Maybe that'll unearth whatever stick is shoved up your ass.
