A Night At The Opera

[fingertrouble]

Still rude. If I'd asked 'what do you think?' or 'do you think this looks OK?' or it had been a critical thread about kilt wear, then OK. Or a positive suggestion, like 'if you wear this jacket you'd avoid that space' - again that would be fine.

But to proffer an unasked negative, even snarky opinion in an unrelated thread, especially with the trigger phrase 'Nothing looks worse than...' (a bit like 'I don't mean to be prejudiced but...' in the uh-oh stakes) then yes, it's rude, whatever you think is 'proper' or correct. In fact, I would say if you think *anything* is proper and correct then politeness should factor in that most highly. Public critical comments will *always* rub people the wrong way. Strange you would not mention it in person as a faux pas, but find the anonymity behind a keyboard much more acceptable? That makes it worse in fact. Classic keyboard warrior, and makes me feel that it was intended as snark and not a friendly comment at all, or an idle comment without thinking.

As it is, it just makes me self-concious and less likely to wear a kilt now :-( , so I'd respectfully request you keep any future opinions to yourself, and maybe learn some basic internet etiquette.
