Reasons why I will not be replying to your argument

These could've come in handy after my JavaScript Fatigue post blew up (I called it the "Abramov Effect").

Instead, I just declined to read a single response, and ignored as much Twitter noise as I could.

Like many others, I post to document my experiences or write something cathartic.

The feedback of respected peers has already happened by then. After the impact, the signal to noise ratio is too low.

Sometimes I respond, "I'll give your opinion all the respect it deserves."

Amazingly the recipient rarely recognizes the insult, but other people in the thread do.

XKCD has become the go-to communication medium between us geeks. What would we do without it?

Brilliant
