Glen sed:
As always, treating posts to a permanent, public forum like this as if they were chatty conversations seems ill-advised. I'm guilty of it, too. But ... tu quoque, I guess.
I think I finally appreciate the key point you were making when you have said things like this before. I somehow was reading "should" in a different mode. "ill advised" in the context of public/permanent is what I think you were emphasizing (which I was missing).
I've left my foot in my mouth in public here and elsewhere many times for sure, and likely often when I made this conflation (public/permanent forum vs private/ephemeral chat).
I often find reading Wikipedia Discussion pages entertaining for that. A little like sitting at the back of the restaurant and overhearing the staff bickering and/or snarking about customers/management/one-another.
