Git-absorb: Git commit –fixup, but automatic

I think GP is saying that you didn't need to focus on the negativity (which is in itself negativity), just say the substantive thing that you wanted to say without editorializing about negativity. Your complaint (negativity) about negativity might be over-done, and anyways not useful. We can all shake our own heads at others' possibly-unnecessary negativity without having to be calling it out all the time. Meta arguments are not always useful.

Besides, consider this negative comment:

is it one of the negative comments you didn't like? It seems like a possibly-useful negative comment -- "it didn't work for me because ..." is useful unless it was really a matter of undiagnosed PEBKAC. Would you rather than comment not have been posted? Surely not.

I think I've clarified my position in other follow-up comments sufficiently that everything you said here has already been addressed.

I even already said I would use different wording next time.

And I never said folks shouldn't make those comments. I clarified that too.
