You: > I don't discuss it because of its name

Also you: > I can't say whether the name is bad or not. I dislike it, and I dislike it strongly enough to not discuss the database

You didn't add to the conversation, except adding your own personal problems as noise. This is working as intended. Hopefully this information will be helpful to all of us, going forward.



Let's try this again.

Question is posed: What is the explanation for X?

Answer is provided: Here is my explanation for X.

You submit that this answer is "adding personal problems as noise" and downvoted, so "working as intended".

If the relevance leap is hard for you, let's try this.

Question: We just launched a new product called LAKJfkdshfdskjfwfdsfnbozg, but no one is talking about it. Why doesn't anyone ever talk about LAKJfkdshfdskjfwfdsfnbozg?

Answer: I don't talk about it because I don't like the name.

Your response to this would be to downvote the answer because it is a personal problem, noise, which does not contribute to the conversation?

I hope you do not function in any capacity which requires understanding of sentiment.


Let's not. GL with whatever.
