What even is this criticism?

An ad hominem attack based on a single word and your extreme displeasure of it?

> What even is

You've outdone GGP in the contest of inserting a superfluous word. The criticism here is the same as above, which is of intentionally bad grammar, in fact. You both know and yet you choose to employ poor grammar as a writing style, and I think it's likely due to vanity. Speech would be different, but neither of you are speaking. You're writing in an editable field and expressing beyond the content of the meaning of your words to compulsively insert a caricature of yourselves which obviously could not be accurate. It's wanting to appear a certain way and ironically having the opposite effect. If I was doing it, I would want to uuuhhhhh know. I just did it there to further drive the point home that I don't need space words to think because I can take all the time I want, because I am typing in an editable field. I think it's also likely that though you understand completely, you're going to feign as though you don't as convincingly as you can, because there's a problem of which you and GGP are unaware and my drawing attention to it is uncomfortable, aggravating the anxiety and self-consciousness. The trick is to stop trying to be or appear as something, and just be something, whatever it is you are, rather than pretending. So, yeah, do you, like, get it, or whatever?

Do you think I give a shit about what you think of my superfluous words? Huh?

Do you have anything substantive to say about the comments themselves as opposed to a hyperfixated diatribe based on a single superfluous word? Because everyone and their grandmothers is bored of your “holier than thou” soapbox ramblings about how you perceive random people on the internet.

And just because you clearly don’t get it, the word “even” can be used for emphasis when something you are reacting to is absurd. Crazy thing, English, eh?

If you don't care that your ass is hanging out, that's up to you, but you need not choose to be offended at being informed when it is not obvious whether you're aware. No one could fault another for being earnest, even if dissenting. But no one tolerates phoneys, and that neither phoneys do either speaks volumes.

Nobody’s ass is hanging out except the whiny pedant who has nothing better to do than to go on ad hominem-filled diatribes based on nothing that is grounded in reality. And who’s comments are clearly absurd enough to get downvoted and flagged. Because they in no way shape or form are about the topic at hand.

I wonder who that person is in this conversation.

Once again, and for the last time, do you have anything to say about the comments themselves, or are you just going to keep breaking the guidelines to get your rocks off on insulting others and their grammar over a single word?

My argument was not ad hominem, as I was criticizing grammar, using sarcasm, but still not ad hominem since I neither attacked you nor OP personally, merely the bad grammar. Ironic, however, that your argument not only generously employs ad hominem but also bandwagon fallacies.

I mean, it was. You inferred qualities that don't exist in real life and hyperfixated on those instead of what was written, but go on sis.

> I mean,

Here we go again. Do you not understand the difference between speaking and writing? When composing an editable comment, you need not include the words you use when speaking to give yourself more time to think about what to say. You can take all the time you want to think and then make your thoughts clear before hitting reply, and you can also edit the comment. I can't fathom why you would waste a reader's time by indicating you had to think for a second before completing your thoughts. Let's see, well, um, could it be a problem with ego? Definitely.

> You inferred qualities that don't exist in real life and hyperfixated on those instead of what was written

I have no earthly idea what you are talking about. I inferred qualities that don't exist?? What are you referring to, exactly? Because I think instead you've just graduated your unsound reasoning to straw man.

Could you please not cross into personal attack or post flamewar comments to HN? Those things aren't allowed here.
