| Mar 1, 2018 at 18:03 | comment | added | Rory Alsop | Aaron - respectfully, you are the one being a complete jerk. The issue is that you aren't respecting the way this all works and just generally being rude in your behaviour. | |

| Mar 1, 2018 at 17:43 | comment | added | Aaron | I have flagged Shog9's previous comment as "rude or abusive" but was not able to leave a further comment on it. How do I go about reporting Shog9's completely disrespectful and ignorant (I mean that quite literally, not rudely, as he keeps completely ignoring my points entirely) behavior to someone higher up? I don't care if he reports directly to the CEO, that does not give him license to be a complete jerk to us. I would even be fine if everything I proposed in this discussion thread fell flat on its face if he would at least have a legitimate discussion about the actual issue. | |
| Mar 1, 2018 at 17:41 | comment | added | Shog9 | @Aaron: read. And for the last time, if you're gonna try and launch a discussion here then you have to accept that you can't dictate what other folks write in response. You've been warned thrice about your obnoxious behavior; either learn to participate constructively, or leave. | |
| Mar 1, 2018 at 17:40 | comment | added | Aaron | @JMac (cont.) meta-question which had not gone off the rails (it had done so in some of the comments to answers of that question, however, I admit), and in fact was getting more focused and providing a better discussion by refining that other question. My question was originally about that, and about the deletion of my comment which essentially was "Whoa, isn't that excessive? Should I make a meta question for us to discuss this?" Shog9 has never addressed that here. He could have just replied with "Yes, take it to meta" there instead of a deletion. That would have been 100x better. | |
| Mar 1, 2018 at 17:37 | comment | added | Aaron | @JMac I appreciate your words there, and perhaps that could be so of some of the other commenters/answerers. But in this case with Shog9's answer/comments, he continually goes on about things which I very explicitly stated up front in the original question was not what I was asking about. In fact, he has repeatedly stated that I had problems with things that I explicitly stated all along (even before this meta-Q) I had no problem with, and he has never addressed in any way what I asked in any way, shape, or form, which originally stemmed from his comment deterring comments on a (1/2) | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 23:01 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | Well, just as you say, getting to a question and culling it down to something people can get behind and support is hard. It takes figuring out. It takes iteration. That is able to happen on this community is a credit, but no moreso than Dunkirk - It shouldn't need to happen in the first place. SE has a strong model, but this instance of the model is failing. It's not quite a stupid idea, it's a risky idea that is failing due to personalities. That's what we are worried about and trying to help you fix. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 18:36 | comment | added | JMac | @Aaron If so many people are "talking about something different"; it may be a sign that you need to refine what you're asking. It seems like everyone attempting to address your concerns is met with "That's not what I was talking about" or "That's a strawman" when people are trying to address what they interpret to be your concerns. It's really hard to have a discussion when a majority of statements are countered with "that's not what I'm saying". | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 17:59 | comment | added | Aaron | Except that you haven't explained why. Your answers seem to be speaking louder than your words. Your answer does not even address what I have brought up, as in you are not even talking about the same thing I am, so your answer itself is completely off topic, but you didn't even address that part of my previous comment. I gave you the benefit of the doubt with my previous comment, but now I can only assume your answer is a disingenuous straw man argument meant to save face. Except there's no face-saving needed if we can just have an honest discussion with mutual respect. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 16:54 | comment | added | Shog9 | Your actions speak louder than your words, @Aaron. I'm not getting into some debate over the precise wording I used - either it got the point across or it didn't. You wanted to keep commenting; I told you not to; you did it anyway; your comment got deleted. That's what happened and I've explained why; you can accept or reject my explanation, but either way there's nothing more to discuss. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 16:40 | comment | added | Aaron | So please do not misdirect this discussion. If you are merely misunderstanding the premise, then that is one thing and is fine, but if you are intentionally avoiding the actual topic that I raised then not so much. Do I need to make the question clearer? I will attempt to do so if you think that is necessary. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 16:38 | comment | added | Aaron | And your statement "you wanted to discuss that in the comments too" is false. I explicitly said I did not want to discuss that, but rather your statement to not make comments on the question. That is completely different. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 16:37 | comment | added | Aaron | While I appreciate what you say here, it does not really answer the question. I did not have a problem with what you did to the comments you archived; in fact, I explicitly stated that, both in my comment you deleted and I think in my question here as well (I'll go back and check). | |
