edit: shit you guys, can't you go with the reading my comment charitably or will you hit that downvote button again, thereby showing your hypocrisy?

I think you misunderstood the new guideline. My takeaway was that people should try to interpret things charitably and not react blindly and impulsively, especially when their reaction is to write a comment. I can't find anything in the guideline that suggests that people shouldn't disagree with you. That's what's I believe is happening to you: people read your comment, try to interpret it charitably and find that they still disagree with you enough to downvote it.



There are always going to be those times when the most charitable reasonable interpretation is still incredibly bad.
