> make me feel like I'm being forced to learn it.

I’m sorry you feel that way. You shouldn’t feel like you’re being forced to learn anything.

That said the MLM interpretation is the least charitable one possible. A bunch of people excited about a new technology need not have malicious intent when they’re taking about it. Maybe they’re just excited.




Excluding the "Doesn't" from your quote to negate my words is very deceitful. Do better.


I misread what you said. That was my mistake. I’m sorry.

Again I request, please don’t assume that mistakes happen out of malice. There was no deceit in what I did.

Suppose I made this mistake on purpose. What advantage could I possibly have gotten from it? Nothing. My only purpose here was to have a discussion in good faith.

If you’re going into conversations assuming bad faith and deceit and ulterior motives of strangers, don’t be surprised if your biases are confirmed.
