I agree! How about this one: http://i.imgur.com/QwuX5aA.png

Edit: I'm talking about 'awesomeness' of his comments, not 'nastyness', don't take it out of the context pls.

Nasty is insulting your mom, the size of your penis, and your race. It's just short and straight to the point without a buncha fluff.

That definitely fits the nasty criteria.

Personally, this leans on the polite side to me.

It was more about 'awesome' rather than 'nasty'.

That's not nasty, it's frank and polite.

Can we settle on "brusque"?

I wonder if it caused as much trouble as his whole "new, revolutionary language" debacle.

I'm curious, what was the subject of your remark that caused that response?

Do you happen to remember which comment he's referring to?

What did you do?

This doesn't seem too bad to me. This message is straightforward, not nasty.

FWIW, I'm only using the term "nastygram" as a stock figure of speech. I didn't find the note I got from pg to be particularly nasty, although I did - and still do - disagree on this particular issue. shrug

What issue?

Admins changing the titles of submitted links. There have been a few cases where it happened and the "fixed" title was worse than the one provided by the submitter to a pretty ridiculous degree. I said something about that on one such story, my comment was the most upvoted comment by far, and sparked a huge thread on the subject. Hence the "nastygram" from pg.

No biggie, I understand that they don't want link titles full of gratuitous spin and editorializing, but sometimes the original title just isn't useful. But what can ya do... pg's site, pg's rules. :-)
