> That's fair, I think my point is there's a nuanced theory behind my choice to be rude, which is essentially "you need to experiment more, be more open minded, really work at it, and then you'll see what others are seeing, it isn't impossible." Why not just say that then, instead of being rude? I pretty firmly disagree with the idea that being rude is ever a useful way to convey information rather than intent. Content and tone are separate axes that you can calibrate independently, so what you're saying is never an excuse for how you say it. Being rude conveys emotion, not information, and you didn't really convey information in your comment other than "look at how amazing the stuff I do is", and that's not a particularly effective mechanism for getting people to see your point of view. | ||
