>The logic here really doesn’t follow. Like even remotely. If the topic isn’t interesting then your comment is even less so.

Not pointing out a problem means I implicitly accept them as not problems. I find the aforementioned to be problems, so I will point them out whether nicely or otherwise.



You just said it happens so often that it’s no longer interesting. If it’s not interesting, then you shouldn’t care enough to comment. Nor is your comment remotely interesting to yourself, the author, or anyone else.

Which is why there’s a whole guideline about it. Shocking, I know.

> so I will point them out whether nicely or otherwise.

And you will continue to be downvoted and flagged when your comments, which we both know are not anywhere near “nicely”, are against the guidelines.


Whether something is interesting and whether something is a problem are two different things.

The first step to addressing a problem is calling it out, which I will do because I do not appreciate websites breaking my scroll bar, among other transgressions, no matter how mundane it becomes.
