The thread and the responses by Catherine Gramze is one example of that. She defends bad writing. She comes up with all kinds of excuses as to not want to explain anything. Saying it is Good to not explain stuff.
If you are going to say it is Good not to explain stuff, BAD WRITING WILL ENSUE.
So if there is a dearth of good writers, it is because there is an overabundance of bad attitudes. To writing. You try to convince me that explaining stuff to new users is bad because you want your man pages to be reference only material.
That is something only a bad writer would say.
And anyone saying that would become a bad writer.
