Aug 18, 2010 at 1:38 comment added Robert Fraser @Jouke van der Maas -- That's either fatalist or just plain unfriendly. We have the power to change these things, and the power to do so now. Resenting (or actively resisting) the change is bad for users, and bad for the future of the site.
Aug 17, 2010 at 14:24 comment added Jouke van der Maas @Robert It's not circular logic at all. The site founders have stated this multiple times. The site is not for discussion. It's for getting an answer to you questions. You can want something else, but you can't get it here.
Aug 17, 2010 at 2:09 comment added Robert Fraser @Jouke van der Maas - Sounds like circular logic, since the point here is to decide what this site is about. I addressed this in meta.ui.stackexchange.com/questions/53/…
Aug 16, 2010 at 10:31 comment added Jouke van der Maas @Robert Because that's what the site is for. If you don't like that, you should go to some discussion forum. Trying to get the single best answer to a question is what this is all about.
Aug 16, 2010 at 4:26 comment added Robert Fraser "we should try to ask for one correct answer. That answer may not exist due to multiple viewpoints, but it should be what we strive for." -- Why? What's the practical reasoning behind striving for one correct answer? Is this reasoning strong enough that we should not allow exceptions to the rule? And does the book question fit this in any way the implementation question does not?
