I don’t feel like I was being “snarky.” I also have no problem with the articles being upvoted.

I don’t think it’s very fair to tell people who want to constructively criticize articles to just not engage with them. That feels like a deflection of my points rather than addressing the merit of what I actually said.

Instead of saying “here’s what was wrong with your idea” you said “you’re not supposed to be here.”

I genuinely think the author could read comments like mine and get something out of them.
