On: Shameful Innumeracy in the New York Times

[steveitis]

You posted a comment about your enjoyment of the authors failure, and judged his time management skills due to the fact that he posted his rant about another persons failure on the internet.

Do you not see the hypocrisy?

[codexon → steveitis]

His 2 sentence comment likely took up a lot less time than the author's rant.

[gloob → steveitis]

The commenter you responded to wasn't being amused by the author's time management skills (or lack thereof). He was amused by the author's emotional state.

So, no, they aren't being hypocritical about it.

[IsaacSchlueter → steveitis]

Isn't your response to the comment (and my response to yours) guilty of the same fault?

If we keep going like this, we'll meta ourselves up a black hole or something.

[jongraehl → IsaacSchlueter]

The fault of hypocrisy? No.
