Gleb has been getting responses like this from the very beginning; thousands upon thousands of words have been spilled on the subject. What makes you think your latest 600 are going to change his mind?
Because it’s new to me …? … hmmm no, not “new”...
Because it’s recent. Gleb has been posting more crap than usual lately (or the rest of the content has gotten less … the content to “Gleb crap” ratio has been going down), and I wanted to counter that.
As for effectiveness, I’ll admit I didn’t try to be very persuasive (in that I didn’t think about “what would make him think that he’s doing something wrong”). I seem to have gone for a deconstructive approach—perhaps trying to understand why he does as he does because perhaps I’m missing something.
… and I kinda hope to start a discourse with him.
Though it was more out of emotions than logical thought.
Summarized
Because I think it has become more relevant recently
Because I felt I could try to understand the situation better by writing such a comment
Because I hope to start a dialogue in order to convince Gleb
