So recently there were some disagreements between the terms NSFW and NWS.
I, as part of a community, was asked for feedback on something and pointed this out.
I was basically told off because my comment was not useful.
I feel it was useful.
I feel clarity is important. In response, some people say that pointing such a thing out made me SUCH A PEDANTIC ASSHOLE that they don't want to be anywhere near me.
As such, I have nothing to contribute. Yes. I actually do think clarity is important, and if you feel so strongly that it's not, that I MUST be bringing up unimportant things on purpose - if you SO strongly doubt my motives - that the ONLY possible conclusion is that it's unimportant and anyone who disagrees is CRAZY.
Then I simply have nothing to contribute
On this, or on anything else you ask about
Ever.
You've basically said that my views do not count, and worse, that I'm NOT ALLOWED to comment, because my comments make me the aforementioned pedantic asshole.
As such, don't ask for my feedback again.
where things left off last night, I was fine with it
ReplyDeletebut the comments since then, I'm not
well it was this comment that upset me the most
you've found why i don't go to goonstation anymore

ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, nobody told you they didn't want to interact with you anymore. You were told 'there is a difference between useful meaningful feedback, and splitting hairs'. You were also told 'useful posts only from this point', and 'well FINE i guess my feedback ISN'T WANTED *flounce*' is not useful.
ReplyDeleteNormal people don't take their ball and go home when their every word isn't hung on. I'm sorry your feelings are hurt, but it is not my job to validate every thought that enters your head.
You banned me for posting something that I felt was important. If what I feel is important is "shit" to you, then, bluntly, I should not be contributing my ideas.
DeleteDon't take this personally either. I am not. You are still one of my fav admins and one of my fav persons. You are just dead wrong about this.
No, I banned you for harping about something that was asked, answered, and had been called out specifically as being not useful, and then you packed a sad and whined after the 'no unuseful posts after this line' line. Whether you think the difference between two equally clear acronyms is not relevant: the person running the discussion (me) said it wasn't and asked for it not to continue. It continued. You took a break.
DeleteI'm not taking it personally either, but you don't seem to compute that 'doing a thing specifically after you were told doing a thing wasn't helpful, and would result in taking a surprise vacation' resulted in a vacation.
Whatever.
No, I accept the ban. You said no off topic comments, and I made an off topic comment.
DeleteTo clarify, the reason I have no feedback is all of my "useful posts" and "meaningful feedback" is "splitting hairs"
ReplyDeletethis tells me I am unable to tell the difference between the two in the minds of the powers that be, and if that is the case, any further feedback will only be "more splitting hairs" and as such, I have nothing further to add. This has nothing to do with taking my ball and going home it's me taking what you call a brick home, because you wanted a ball.
