    If you see someone you support try to spread a message but their presentation is disheveled, do you just pretend you didn’t see anything and let them embarrass themselves? Try to see past your anger. I’m not speaking with anger to you right now.

      I think it’s more embarrassing to miss an opportunity to spread support in favor of correcting someone publicly.

      It’s possible to do both, but you and others here chose not to.

        Because I’ve never DMed anyone here, and a comment is not as embarrassing as a title… I was expecting an “Ok, fixed, thx”, and that would have been the end of it, as has happened in other threads. Instead we’re getting this public trial that’s awkward for everyone.

          What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

          You don’t particularly like being called out publicly, do you?

            My initial comment was not an accusation or a “calling out”. It was a friendly tap on the shoulder.

            But you keep trying to steer this discussion onto an aggressive/accusatory tack, almost as if you want to perceive everything as some kind of a battle. That’s not how I like to view things, and you’re right, I don’t like it.

              You keep attributing aggressiveness and anger to my comments when I’m just being blunt.

              You did publicly call out OP and didn’t have enough grace to actually contribute to the discussion at hand.

              Now you know that if you’re actually trying to save someone public embarrassment, there are DMs you can utilize.
