Yes, that's why I said "Not sure".


Yes, logically, "Not sure it's a good thing," means "It is either a good thing or it is not a good thing." You know, X or not X, and so your ass-covering comment is logically defensible, but come on, you wrote it for a reason. Just say, "Good point," and move on.


"Not sure" in this context was meant demonstrate I'm open to both variants of the situation, good and bad. Since OP had upvotes already indicating that people find it good/funny/whatever, the point was to bring other side of this to light. There's a saying that fits your comment so well - don't tell me what to do and I won't tell you where to go.


Are we turning into an anti-dissent crowd? Look at the downvotes - the same number, and why? Because somebody had a different opinion? Because it's so easy to downvote here and not let out your identity or have to explain why you did it?

Tolerance of, nay, encouragement of dissent (not insubstantiated rants) is the hallmark of a healthy community.

Btw, if you choose to downvote this, please explain why and what I am missing. Thank you.
