I never called anything stupid. Nor is it the case that I don't understand the comment. You actually pointed out no problem with my comment specifically, you merely accused me of "not understanding" and needing to "reread" the comment. How very unempathetic and condescending of you.
I also never said that the comment was saying that "everyone needs to use snapchat".
Maybe you should either address specific points made in someone else's comment or avoid being outright rude in an otherwise intellectual and civil discussion? Just a thought.
EDIT: I also would expect discussions on a site like this to not devolve to false dichotomies of either total agreement or total disagreement with someone else's position (comment).
If you read my comment carefully you will easily discern that my focus is on the lack of necessity for bringing an appeal to "empathy" into the discussion.
I don't see anyone appealing to a moral high-ground. You're the only one talking about ethics.
Let me distill the OP's comment for you:
1) A lot people seem to be complaining about Snapchat being confusing and saying there's something wrong with it, etc.
2) Yet Snapchat is extremely popular with certain groups.
3) If you want to understand why it's popular, try to understand the groups that are using it.
4) In general, that type of empathy (or the ability to understand and share another person's experiences and emotions) can be useful in helping you create things for other people who are dissimilar to you.
You're the only one talking about people being bad or good in relation to their understanding of Snapchat... unless comments have been edited or something.
And mgalka isn't saying you said it was stupid. He was paraphrasing the original argument, because he thought you didn't understand it. Bleh, this type of bickering is pointless, hence my troll suspicion.
