It's interesting how misaligned your effort is.

You put effort into writing an unnecessary tldr on a short post, but couldn't be bothered to properly Capitalize your sentences in order to ensure the readability.

Weird.



> couldn't be bothered to properly Capitalize your sentences

i changed my iphone settings to not auto-capitalise words

i put effort into my ostensible laziness


> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Edit out swipes [1]

"Please don't post shallow dismissals"

Same source.

Don't trivialize my useful feedback.

If a person tries to communicate, but his stylistic choice of laziness (his own admission!) gets in the way of delivering his message, it is very tangibly useful information to tell, so that the writing effort could be better optimized for effect.

I wasn't even demanding/telling him what to do. I simply shared my observation, but it's up to him to decide if he wants to communicate better. Information and understanding is power.


> appearing or claiming to be one thing when it is really something else

ostensible laziness => not actually laziness.

although yes it is a stylistic choice (which i wont be changing as the result of our interaction).


Your choice. The worst thing is not knowing ("Why are not posts with reasonable opinions are being downvoted and not engaged with?"). Now you know (you are welcome) and it's your choice what to do with that information.
