Look. Let's go with the metaphor again.

I still want toast. But what you want for breakfast, it's not toast. It doesn't have to be grapefruit, it's anything you find delicious or at least satisfying, but that I dont. Let's say you want fried chicken and waffles. Delicious choice. You'll love it. But I would neve order it.

This article satisfies what you are looking for. It doesn't satisfy me. This has nothing to do with "quality of satisfaction" or "quality of content." This just has to do with what each of us wants.

This article fulfilled your brunch needs/desire, but it left me wanting. That happens all the time, and not just at brunch. I think it's a valuable exercise to examine why a given - entree - may fail to satisfy me if that is the case. I cannot learn what will satisfy my desires unless I look at what does not and determine what I find lacking.

For you this article left you film and content. For me it just didn't.

I'd way rather explain what I want out of the article, both for myself and to the rest of hubski, than simply complain it "wasn't enough."

it is of value to me, at least, if even no one else, to discuss why a piece fails me and not simply accept that I am not "full" and leave it at that.

I do not think we can ever learn what does fulfill us without examining what does not.

It seems you are personally offended by the flaws I find in the article.

"I don't like it" says nothing. It requires no examination. Sure it's tactful but it is of no use to me, or any reader. The next immediate question would always be "why?"

you are offended that I discussed not my dissatisfaction, but the causes of it.

sorry. I'd rather understand my feelings, than simply throw them out as non-offensive one-liners that could never possibly create a discussion unless someone else dragged it out of me.

Post an article and you invite a response.

If you can't handle the fact that some people will respond negatively or ait criticism or, oh I don't know, just a simple analysis of what they found the article to lack, don't fucking post. Or you can mute me.

But getting hurt that someone doesn't like the link you shared, and bothered to take the time to address why instead of simply dismiss it as shit, is pointless.

This isn't an echo chamber and I am free to express what I see as flaws.
