    Sure, that’s a valid view, but a healthy divorce also doesn’t include yelling obscenities at the other parent in public and raiding the house you both used to live in (not that I object to the language used). It’s still minimising contact to what’s necessary. And maybe accepting that some kids would like to stay with the other parent and focusing on those kids that want to stay with you.

      Which is another failure of using personal relationships as an analogy to corporations vs people.

      We are not talking about interpersonal emotional discourse, we are talking about consumer vs corporation and corrupt capitalist corporate powers at work.

      I say burn the megacorps myself but I understand not everybody is as passionate on that topic.

      The original discussion was about user engagement and the cost to benefit ratio of engaging them. I find it somewhat hypocritical to claim we shouldn’t care about their success and to accept that some people want to use the site, while your original comment is complaining about user engagement on the other website.

      If we are supposed to accept users being on the other website, why are you commenting about site traffic?

        What I meant to say with my original comment was mostly “okay but still maybe don’t go there now (and add to the traffic)”. It was aimed at people here, not those who are still active over there. I don’t know whether reddit will care more about not getting traffic from us or about being shat on. But one of those options also seems healthier so I think that’s the one to choose. If you think you need the catharsis of yelling at spez, I wouldn’t dream of stopping you.
