Because it a silo'd, defeatist attitude and flag has repeatedly shown no interest in having real conversations on this place as of late. Just blasting a line or three of snark and moving on.

To each their own.

I'm not judging you for being disappointed in flags. What bothers me is that you turn a solid reason for being disappointed into "your attitude is shit" which promotes nothing but reciprocal aggression because it's mere trashtalk, and this isn't the place for that.

Because it offers no possible solution, no support or encouragement, no real reasoning, it's just a "fuck you" in a few more words than that. Sorry I was much more up front with what I was trying to say?

If it's truly such a dreadful comment, I don't know why you'd follow its example.
