I’ve posted a follow up somewhere else in this thread about how I can retroactively see why some people would read rudeness in my comment. Even though this isn’t intended, I agree I need better choice of words What I didn’t understand when expressing confusion with the responses, and still don’t, is the personal nature of the response. It wasn’t pushing back against anything I said really, moreso it tried to bring up the credentials of the speaker; and, I guess this feels a nonsequitr Like, if I say “I have these problems with thing X”, it doesn’t really matter who made X. Sure, it’s context I didn’t have and there is something to be gained in saying it; but, it doesn’t really change any of the critiques I had. Appealing to the authority of the creator doesn’t engage with nearly everything I said | ||

> I guess this feels a nonsequitr How is that a non-sequitur? You're the one who brought up the topic of credibility in the first place. The comment was simply made in response to that. | ||
