Whether we find it offensive or not isn't relevant. Your comments are degrading to those who find it difficult, and you are actively hostile when they complain or we point this out.

Your attitude is one I see too often in the FP community, and well-meaning or not it holds us all back.



>Your comments are degrading to those who find it difficult

Again, what do you propose I do about it? Should I never say anything positive about anything, lest I offend someone who had a bad experience?

>Your attitude is one I see too often in the FP community

Which attitude is that? Optimism?


> Should I never say anything

Well if you can't understand why your phrasing turns a positive idea into making somebody feel bad, probably.

> Which attitude is that? Optimism?

A version of it, yes. The "if you don't find it easy you are the problem" attitude.
