| Feb 15, 2013 at 19:06 | comment | added | user7116 | @Servy: do they want answers or enforcement of arbitrary mores? :) <- perhaps you just add one of those to improve the link. | |
| Feb 15, 2013 at 19:03 | comment | added | Servy | @sixlettervariables I agree with you that it shouldn't be rude; people shouldn't be offended by a comment like that, but a lot of people are, and unfortunately enough people feel that way that I'd say it meets the social definition of "rude". | |
| Feb 15, 2013 at 19:01 | comment | added | user7116 | @Servy: some sort of grammarception going on; trying to follow but I core dumped. I'm saying it's a stretch to call it rude (or rather, only folks who don't want "help" but want spoon feeding, would call it rude). Regardless, as a text-only medium the bar for rude is raised much higher. | |
| Feb 15, 2013 at 18:56 | comment | added | Servy | @sixlettervariables That's saying it is rude, but you don't care, not that it's not rude. (Personally, I'm okay with that, but apparently not everyone else is.) | |
