I think this comment is at like +5 −8, unless someone is just changing their vote a lot. I’ve been trying to avoid asking about the occasional downvote, but this keeps fluctuating so I have to ask. I’m confused about what people dislike so much. I can’t imagine the downvotes are just about using profanity. I only commented because didn’t understand why we were diving into an inflammatory meta-conversation, complete with accusations of gender inequity, when the object-level conversations had been going fine.
I would guess that the profanity is enough to explain the low score. Aside from that, “Why are you starting shit” seems at least rude and also carries a host of connotations including a belligerent nature.
Jack, it wasn’t my intention to start “shit”(using your words). I’m writing on PU based on what I remember reading about this in the past on this website, and I’ve been a member here since the days where this was still overcomingbias.com. I wasn’t aware of the current discussion but even so I don’t think it invalidates my point if you bother to read what I wrote.
Why are you starting shit? We’ve had rather pleasant and informative discussions on pu and pu related topics this month.
