since my account is already ruined, by continuing to bump this comment thread I can wage a war of attrition against you. there is no real impact to my receiving more negative karma although there is a high probability. conversely, there is a small probability that you’ll receive some negative reputation (or even better, this part would all be deleted) and there is also an impact to your credibility.
You overstate the degree of ruination of your account and so I don’t quite support the details of your reasoning. Nevertheless, drethelin has something to learn from this. He gave you a lot of power over him. That’s usually a mistake.
mostly this post is just me being frustrated though. i feel like lots of the other comments in this area were like your above comment, except that other people were less transparent about it
Pretty much, yes. I think they call those ‘social skills’. Actually, drethelin is more or less following your no-politeness policy perfectly. Sometimes that is actually more pleasant to be on the receiving end of than the well crafted socially acceptable salvos.
