Yes. There is a discussion to be had but few are brave enough to admit that. Because people long for acceptance by their peers more than almost anything short of food and water—certainly more than their own sense of best practices for the SDMB.
Consider Facebook. My complaints would have been lost there but they’re entire raison d’etre (don’t even fucking try it, putz) is pablum-spewage to the knuckle-draggers for dollars and any argument to quality or intellect is DOA. It would be an utter waste of time and really, not fair, to complain about non-productive writing.
I didn’t expect that here, though. I always wanted to start a nice little ATMB thread about it but I could see that the less imaginative Dopers would make that a Sisyphean task so wisely, I never did.
But then I got pitted so it all came up. I could have just said “Sure whatever, you’re right. I’m an idiot shouting at clouds and there is no issue.”
But that’s not true so… here I am… stuck in the middle with… I don’t know who but I know who’s on my right and who’s on my left.
