That would have prevented a lot of flame wars

If only this had caught on at the time, imagine how much subsequent strife could have been avoided entirely.

vmchale | karma 849 | avg karma 1.16 · | 2018-07-13 18:09:52+00:00

It would have prevented this from happening.

dredmorbius | karma 63069 | avg karma 2.05 · | 2020-09-20 17:51:33+00:00

Much of the harm and disruption could have been avoided or mitigated.

panick21_ | karma 6073 | avg karma 1.48 · | 2022-04-06 01:54:48

Honestly that would have been much better for the world.

CathedralBorrow | karma 623 | avg karma 1.54 · | 2019-08-27 10:31:12+00:00

True, but what if that wouldn't have reached as many people and we wouldn't be having this conversation?

klmadfejno | karma 2367 | avg karma 2.49 · | 2021-05-07 20:19:17+00:00

We would have reacted more assertively because that would have been a much bigger problem. We're lucky it was this way.

Maybe. It would certainly have stirred the pot.

rhizome | karma 18082 | avg karma 1.64 · | 2012-08-30 14:49:13

Would have made the personal animosity more transparent.

Consider the source.

yahelc | karma 2120 | avg karma 5.21 · | 2012-05-04 02:17:48+00:00

How would that have worked?

mkoryak | karma 1355 | avg karma 2.24 · | 2023-10-23 12:32:52

Maybe that would have saved everyone some time, which is a good thing

rsrsrs86 | karma 149 | avg karma 0.84 · | 2023-11-17 20:11:00

But the violent firing and wording could me made much, much easier for both sides if it had been so.

At least they would have been culturally closer and the integration would have been less bloody.

emmelaich | karma 6824 | avg karma 1.64 · | 2019-12-03 23:24:19+00:00

It would have saved us this conversation, for a start.

Apocryphon | karma 19248 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2022-12-17 18:20:49

What would have made it more of a comfortably multilateral situation?

Legion | karma 5005 | avg karma 6.62 · | 2009-12-20 02:56:33+00:00

Probably, but I think the overall zeal would have been much less intense.

tjarratt | karma 398 | avg karma 1.8 · | 2014-01-14 07:15:44+00:00

A lot fewer tears would have been shed.

GekkePrutser | karma 10335 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2020-09-03 19:06:18+00:00

Good point, I'm sure there would have been some quid pro quo there.

DannyBee | karma 28474 | avg karma 5.43 · | 2016-03-05 00:02:58

Yes. It would have.

refurb | karma 27208 | avg karma 1.53 · | 2019-01-15 20:20:48+00:00

Oh yes, that would have gone over incredibly well.
