    I never asked about a copy of the book or article, I asked about a summary.

    Once again you are arguing against something I never did.

      If you want to post a top-level comment, you should read the article first. If you don’t want to read the article, then you don’t have to comment here. The goal of posting this article is to discuss this article, not what you made of someone else’s summary of an article or general thoughts about the sorts of themes that could be present in an article you didn’t read or whatever: that is not productive or useful conversation. If there’s a thread on a topic where you don’t know about the topic, you can choose to skip it. You also can read this article and claiming that you can’t is just disingenuous. You don’t want to pay what it costs, which is fine, but it’s not like it’s unreadable to you: you’re choosing to not read it.

        If you want to have a discussion about a topic it is your responsibility to provide a quick summary of the topic in order to set expectations about the subject.

        You failed to do so, I tried to read the article, got hit by a paywall and notified you about the issue in a common manner, others provided context and you decided to throw a hissy fit, derailing the original discussion.

        I suggest including a summary of the article next time.

        And if the goal of the post was to discuss the article then post the article without the paywall.

        But eh, I see that you are a .ml user, so I guess I should expect this dumb response, however I will make no appology for remaining hopeful

          It is not.

          you decided to throw a hissy fit

          I did not.

          post the article without the paywall

          I will not.

          appology
