| Dec 24, 2020 at 20:08 | comment | added | Novak | "Desultory" refers to the general level of engagement this question has generated, not your efforts. This thread is just not a hotbed of enthusiasm; and thus far the activity generated in favor of doing something about the original question is not that warmly received. (In fact, one of the two answers is soundly rejected.) | |
| Dec 23, 2020 at 15:49 | comment | added | NotArch | @Novak You may think it's desultory because I'm not advocating for a certain position. But that's the goal here. I didn't want to advocate, I wanted to get a discussion going on the question itself and halt any opens/closes. Between the multiple questions, unclear question, and potential request for off-topic things, it felt like this was the better thing to do than argue in comments. It doesn't seem like others agree, and that's fine. But this wasn't pointless. I had a concern on the question that was supported by the bad answers that came in. | |

| Dec 23, 2020 at 8:55 | comment | added | Novak | What's to discuss? The original question has far more upvotes than downvotes. It's closevote count has stabilized under the threshold, so a close-reopen war seems unlikely. There is an accepted answer which also has far more upvotes than downvotes. This meta discussion has generated a level of engagement best described as "desultory." Unless you're actively campaigning to close it, the topic seems moot. | |

| Dec 22, 2020 at 20:59 | comment | added | NotArch | Not sure about the down votes here. seems like with the current answers with only one that is actually supported several deleted for lack of support and one up and currently with a flag for more support seems like this is a good question to ask. | |
