Meant for a reply to the adjacent Godel_unicode but the nesting limit (?) precludes that:

No, rude asshole criticism is extremely rude. Well-pitched constructive criticism is a gift, although you'd be right to say that when addressing strangers it's easy to come across as a demanding prick. So if you can provide that feedback for improvement along with sincere praise then criticize away.




> but the nesting limit (?) precludes that

the nesting limit is way deeper than this, there's a cooldown timer for replying too fast in a thread. and if you view the page for the comment, you can always reply.


Thanks for the explanation! Since my last comment on anything was a couple of days ago I guess the cooldown gets tripped by something else too (possibly I went back+forward a couple of times so looked like obsessive reloading)


No, you just need to click on the ‘n time ago’ bit which opens that comment which then enables you to reply directly no matter how nested or save/favorite.

I.e. your comment I replied to said ‘2 hours ago’ I clicked there and replied.
