So 1 comment with 17 negative responses in a full thread of 36 comments is "the majority of the community?
That's kind of the part that really surprised me. That it exists, OK, but "the majority" in this thread? I feel like on the contrary, in the scope of this thread, it is a tiny minority.
Edit: Since I can't reply to the comment below. By "17 negative responses" I meant negative to the one "bad" comment.
For future reference, if you really need to reply to a comment before the lockout on immediate replies times out, click on the timestamp on the comment. That brings you to a view of the comment that lets you reply sooner. That view either has no lockout, or the lockout is mere seconds.
Can you provide quotes and/or links to examples?
