Point to the part of your comment that has any-fucking-thing to do with the topic at hand (i.e. engages with the actual substance of the comment that it's posted as a reply to). Your comment starts with "Yes but", as if it to present it as a rebuttal or rejoinder to something that was said, but then proceeds into total non-sequitur. It's an unrestrained attempt at a change of subject and makes for a not-very-hard-to-spot type of misdirection.

Your neighbors' ugly yellow tchotchkes have in no way forced you—nor will they ever force you—to ornament your house with XSLT printouts.

Alright, you're extremely rude and combative so I'll probably tap out here.

But consider if the "yellow tchotchkes" draw some power from my house, produce some stinky blue smoke that occasionally wafts over, requires a government-paid maintenance person to occasionally stop by and work on, that I partly pay for with my taxes.

That's my point.

> Alright, you're extremely rude

In contrast to poisoning the discussion with subtle conversational antimatter while wearing a veneer of amiability. My comments in this thread are not insidiously off-topic non-replies presented as somehow relevant in apposition to the ones that precede them.

Anyone making the "overwork the analogy" move automatically loses, always. Even ignoring that, nothing in this sentence even makes any sense wrt XSLT in the browser or the role of browser makers as stewards of stable Web standards. It's devoid of any cogent point and communicates no insight on the topic at hand.
