. . . This post is 4 months old and I get a new person thinking they're the smartest special one that the rule won't apply to.
This is precisely why the rule works: This person just openly announced they'll be an unlimited drain on community resources with no actual prompting from me.
@pathunstrom I hate the position this person is expousing so much.
"Question everything!" Absolutely, ponder things from whatever angle you are able to, try and understand the how and the why behind it, but that is not their position is it?
Their "question everything" is, "don't think about how or why; demand an explanation for everything you don't like", which is more or less the opposite.
@pathunstrom This is really clever! That's similar to what we call a "honeypot" in cybersecurity.
A honeypot is a server in a controlled, isolated environment containing data that appears to be legitimate. With the purpose of luring attackers to target this server instead of the real one.
That way information security analysts can detect vulnerabilities, recognize patterns and understand the attackers.
That's exactly what the Olivia Hill Rule does 😀. Making people reveal by themselves they won't follow the rules.
