I'm a veteran of quite a number of flamewars: I'm entirely aware of that. Heck, I wrote How Not to Be An Asshole on the Internet; you'd think I'd remember that stuff.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I think communicating online is much trickier than it appears. An enormous amount of what is said would be said differently if everyone was talking to someone face to face. You tend to lose something of the human dimension online.

And I apologize for being snarky on the post where you first used the term. Unremitting snark doesn’t help these conversations, and I should know better.
