Could you quote where codinghorror said that? I’ve seen you assert it multiple times and read both this thread and the thread where the flag request was made multiple times. I’m not reading his words the same way you are or you’re reading something I’m not reading.
In the other thread, codinghorror said:
That’s the closest I could find to what you’re saying. But it doesn’t have anywhere near the tone or dismissiveness that you’re asserting.
He said he hadn’t heard the request before. Then he tried to explain how other forums use the system so that the question didn’t come up before. He also explained how the SDMB could configure the software quickly if that’s what they wanted to do.
I’ve read his posts multiple times and have an opinion about what he was trying to get across.
