It’s much easier to have the entirety of someone’s feedback contained in one single comment rather having to reconstruct a single point of view scattered across multiple comments.

It does. Thanks.

Would be even more helpful, however, if you could more specifically
point out in what way you would prefer discussion.

You might use the current "wildly out of control" debate happening right
now between Kingsley and myself at your initich RFC thread as example:
Is the response stype used by Kingsley the kind you would prefer, and if
so how does his quoting my post match your preference for commenting on
your RFC but not debating, and if not then how would you have preferred
that Kingsley instead dealt with his comments to my post (e.g. what to
omit at the RFC thread, and which other forum do you envision as more
suitably supporting the conversation style you prefer without stifling
the need for debate?).

...and similarly for my response to Kingsley? Am I "utterly out of line"
by even posting at all, or would you have preferred my using a different
posting style (in that same RFC thread), or use a different forum - and
if so then how do you envision that we keep track of our debate when
"shattered all over the place".

Please read all of the above, and in particular the quoted parts, with a
big welcoming smile on my face, rather than with an evil grin: I find
your encouragement for tidy communication quite interesting, and do not
mean to undermine it - I am simply not that well behaved by nature, so
would like more granular guidance and inspiration from you.


Most sincerely,

 - Jonas
