    I get so caught up in making sure my meaning can’t possibly be misinterpreted that I get lost on my way to the point. I guess I don’t want to be a cherry-picked example of somebody being stupid on the Internet.

      Write something with specificity to avoid attacks on a general statement and nobody reads it because it’s TL;DR.

      Write something general and brief and you get attacked for lack of specificity with people naming exceptions.

      Can’t fucking win.
