Hmmm, I just coded something to output an error, couldn't figure out why it wasn't showing up, then realized I never finished building the error handling class and that the function just returns false always.

Bart

Say @animuson, is the counts of "other" flags still that high?

animuson

Currently 929.

Bart

Wow, okay.

Wtf is this? meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/257883/…

animuson

I don't know. I was curious about that too.

Seems more like a rant than a valuable contribution, though.

Bart

Myeah, I don't know if I should call that sad or sick .

Laszlo Papp

8:44 PM

voted to undelete and upvoted.

Bart

Sigh, of course you would @LaszloPapp. Why doesn't that surprise me.

Laszlo Papp

meh, it is not only your opinion existing and being the complete truth.

on the contrary, he did not call your opinion "sad" or "sick". Please be respectful.

Bart

Respectful ... did you read the answer at all @LaszloPapp?

Laszlo Papp

yes, he criticizes how things work because he does not agree about it. It is completely fine.

and actually the redeletion of the post makes me blog about it.

it is odd that opposite and "bad" opinions cannot be raised and heard about the site.

Bart

"This is a very, very dangerous man." <-- that's entirely fine then? Just to get an idea of your definition of "respectful" and "fine" here.

Laszlo Papp

8:49 PM

yes, it is.

animuson

It's a rant and barely even related to the question at hand, which specifically talks about the off-topic close reason.

Laszlo Papp

he thinks that it is dangerous for the quality of the site.

Bart

Great. So now I know where to put your point of view and how to value your input.

Laszlo Papp

meh, you have never cared other than arguing.

why did I even unignore you

Bart

That's a question only you can answer. I'd say you missed me.

Laszlo Papp

8:51 PM

three people did not accidentally vote for undeletion ...

Bart

Nor did the OP accidentally vote for deletion.

Laszlo Papp

not that it is new that SO is not democractic. :/

Doorknob

nor is this argument productive in any way

Bart

Hey, Jeff stated as much in a blog post years ago. That's hardly a surprising statement really.

Laszlo Papp

yes, critics are never productive for the "SO people".

Andy

8:53 PM

@LaszloPapp Wait...you argued earlier that you should have the right to vote close a question by yourself. Now you want democracy?

Laszlo Papp

no matter how many experts have been leaving and raising the same sad facts.

@Andy: I have never argued about close a question on meta myself, no, do not lie.

Bart

You did of course listen to the recent podcast, right?

Laszlo Papp

and in fact, this was not even a question, but answer with an own opinion.

which three people decided to undelete.

Andy

You have a lot of exceptions to your arguments then.

Laszlo Papp

you have a lot of misinterpretation I would say.

but of course you are more than very welcome to show where I claimed "tag experts should close questions on meta".

I am afraid you will not find any place, no matter how much you want it.

Bart

8:57 PM

P.s. link us to that blog post, will you.

Andy

You're right @LaszloPapp, you are now very clear that meta should be democratic and respect all voices, but SO proper should not.

I'd love to continue this conversation, but I must catch my ride home.

Laszlo Papp

even that is false.

Andy

So, until another time, all. Have a good <time of day>

Bart

Cya @Andy

Laszlo Papp

respect all voices is a must have anywhere in my values.

delete all the negative comments here, too: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/257868/…

because they are against SO LOL

the SO censorship LOL

Bart

9:03 PM

And delete all the evidence that your argument holds no ground?

/me wonders if I should have ended that with a LOL

hichris123

@Bart are you sure? LOL

Bart

If there's one thing I'm sure of @hichris123, then it's that I'm never sure of anything. And even that I can't state with full certainty.

LOL

hichris123

... so then how can you be sure of that?

LOL

Doorknob

@hichris123 LOL.

Bart

Hey @Doorknob. Good to have you with us regular folk again.

Doorknob

9:10 PM

greetings

hichris123

@Bart Us blue people aren't that weird...

except for bluefeet. ;)

animuson

:o Someone upvoted me past 77,777! Where are they! I will whack them with a giant 7!

Bart

Oh, that's right @hichris123, you're one of them as well. I guess I should leave now. All the sparkle is too much.

animuson

9:15 PM

= ? What's the answer!?

Is it FISH?

Bart

Must be FISH

Doorknob

@animuson ReferenceError: undefined constant YII

Braiam

Bart

Which is derived from FISH

Braiam

Bart

Q: Read only linked for questions linked for meta

I'm going to keep this short, since I believe we've all seen this so: People come here and complain about their question/answer/goat, or another's question/answer/goat That suddenly gets the said question/answer/goat a flurry of votes. Which in turn both skews the natural flow of events and mak...
