Would prefer an opening paragraph. Agree they are worth bringing up.

(+1 to having an opening paragraph. Also, the word 'nazi' in the title made me significantly less likely to open this post, I only did so *because* I'm an admin on the site. Consider removing it?)

I don't think what I was doing was haggling, I was just making suggestions.

That's what a haggler would say!

Stop being so persnickety - I'm clearly not haggling over minor definitional points.

how dare you! Do I need to refer you to a higher authority on the matter?

I'd be happy for you to do so! Naturally you could tell me because I am an admin on the site, but I would suggest doing it through the proper channels by hitting the 'report' button on the relevant comment(s), that way I'll be able to deal with the complaint in the appropriate venue / with the appropriate oversight from my colleagues.

I'm not sure if this is a brilliantly ironic example of the lack of absolute applicability of these guidelines or just a happy accident.

There should be a way to have a better title. Agreed.

(Eight Ways to Sabotage Discussions is the sort of humorous title that would make me very excited to read a post. It feels like it will be a Quirrell-esque guide that teaches me principles of rationality be turning them on their head for exploitation. And that's exactly what the post is.)
