Vladimir, I normally really like your comments, but I'm voting this one down because it's a straight contradiction without any explanation backing it up.

(I'm letting you know to make it clear that it's not widehead voting you down in some kind of retributive action.)

(It's not a contradiction. The statement was clearly about placing the blame, which is even explicitly acknowledged in the next comment. I wanted to clarify that widehead's statement was specifically about blame, which I think is a wrong thing to focus on.)

(Fair enough, I retract the downvote. Also: why are we whispering?)

It's good to tune down meta discussion, I think. I often write two-part comments where the second part is in parentheses to specify its role.
