I think you missed some irony
In my original post I was trying to amusingly (emphasis on trying) point out the fact that people don’t admit things like this until everyone already knows them which in turn makes the admission a moot point. I thought it would be funny (emphasis on thought) to do so in the "Digg-Style" sarcastic tone that most of the posts there are in.
But the real thing that makes Digg an unpleasant place is not the sarcasm but the mean spiritedness that the place can often take on. My comments were illuminating an idea so I really wasn't attacking anyone. Which is when you attacked me.
So really your comment is far more "Digg-like" than mine was
(The game is still "admitting painfully obvious stuff that everyone already knows" right?)
