Okay, so I was told that this is what my post in a particular thread was deleted for. It was done addressing the post though. Furthermore, I was talking about the format of the response in general.
And please don’t close this thread so quickly after you, a moderator, responds to it.
It’s getting crazy. I have had two threads asking basic questions shut down today alone. I am actually surprised that my account is still active. Any thread could be my last.
It’s getting nuts. Calling an argument dumb certainly isn’t an attack on a poster—unless they’re choosing to read that as an attack on the person. I wonder if the same will happen if I call an argument absurd (e.g., as in “reductio ad absurdum”).
