However, if I were the OP, I think that I would be hurt reading your response. Having put work into a post including original cites and examples, I could easily interpret your post as dismissing mine as inferior or worthless compared to his.
It’s pretty much customary on LW to provide links to related articles; doing so shouldn’t be interpreted as a dismissal. Though it might be defecting by accident in some other context, that’s not really the case here.
Thanks for the clarification—this is my first post on LW and wasn’t sure how to interpret the “link” comments.
As it was, I’d upvoted them because I appreciate knowing what else I’d probably enjoy reading—there’s so much material and it really helps having you guys pointing to relevant articles. It’s good to know they’re intended that way, and not as admonitions for not already including those links.
Again, everyone, thanks for making me feel welcome!
Well he’s new to LW so he probably doesn’t know that.
I’ve been here for several months, and I’m not sure I’d have said it was “customary”… (But that being said, I didn’t see the OP as offensive, but I see how it could be accidentally read that way.)

Does anyone know why the link I tried to link in that comment wouldn’t show up? When I edit it, the syntax is correct...
The text I tried to post was “new to LW” which will show up properly in this comment but not the other one...
