I also said that the engineers would know better than me in the same comment. I've never claimed to be an expert and I've made that pretty obvious from the start.

While my original comment could have been worded better, which I already admitted, your reactions aren't a work of art either.

Calling it delusional and patronizing, while both methods were deemed feasible afterwards, for example. Take your pick.

My intention was always to find out the variables surrounding it and how to make it work and I think most people probably realized that. ( the "badly" worded comment only received -2 fyi, it's just more than what I'm used too)

PS. Some people also disagreed with your perception and told you literally to relax a bit. If you really want to go down that road... ( Didn't I already mention something about your demeaning comments just now?)

@chrisseaton, here's what I think :

My first comment mentioned that you misinterpreted my words. Someone else disagreed with your perception. Someone else said to relax. I pointed out multiple times, that my original comment was badly worded.

Have you even considered the possibility that you misinterpreted the original comment, where you based your toxic reactions on?

Perhaps consider that the "proposals" I'm talking about in my original comment, ARE NOT what is currently being done now in the Suez Channel by the experts (eg. Dredging). Those aren't proposals, that's what currently is being done! But what has been suggested here on the different threads of HN.

I was genuinely eager to see alternative implementations of that concept ( raising water) proposed somewhere.

I copied my example of the other thread as a proposal ( = dams), which led me to the path of water based cofferdams and some other interesting google searches, thanks to comments here.

Now... Reread the original comment and the first sentence in particular ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26586467 )
