| Apr 30 at 22:44 | comment | added | JBH | @DanIsFiddlingByFirelight I'm 60 years old and don't use internet-related abbreviations. Never assume your audience knows your shortcuts. TylerH, I apologize that we've hijacked your comment chain. I won't comment again. | |
| Apr 30 at 21:08 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | @JBH /s (after the quoted text) is a standard internet sarcasm marker. | |
| Apr 30 at 14:42 | comment | added | JBH | @DanIsFiddlingByFirelight I didn't (and still don't) see the sarcasm, but I apologize for any mistreatment. | |
| Apr 30 at 3:51 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | @JBH while I suspect the most prolific flaggers would copy/paste or macro it reducing it to at most a few extra key strokes; the extra effort was part of why I was semi-sarcastic. | |
| Apr 29 at 5:38 | comment | added | JBH | @VLAZ Yeah, I saw it, but its repetition here was irritating. I believe I also saw a fine response, something like, "why have any other option since 'something else' covers everything?" What I haven't seen is an actual explanation for why it'll be disabled. It's as if our SE Overlords want all the chit chat no matter how banal. Besides, TylerH's history made the issue so very visceral. | |
| Apr 29 at 5:18 | comment | added | VLAZ | @JBH Dan's comment is most likely based on this one | |
| Apr 29 at 4:11 | comment | added | JBH | @DanIsFiddlingByFirelight Doesn't that turn a 90,000-click-history into a 90,000-click + 960,000 keystroke history? That's an unreasonable workaround. Even reducing your text to "nln" adds 90,000 keystrokes to an already lengthy history. | |
| Apr 28 at 23:40 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | Flag them as "Something else" with user text of "This comment is no longer needed" /s but also not. 🤢 | |
