::You've clearly been hanging around this place far longer than I have.  Would it be appropriate to re-open the issue of "It's 'cause you're dumb", and if so, how?  It's a comment that I think is both offensive/inappropriate and incorrect.  One may be ''ignorant'', and in need of an explanation, without being ''stupid'', and that's not even getting into the problematic history of the word "dumb".  The subject has been brought up before, but with little discussion that I can see, and no action.  [[User:BunsenH|BunsenH]] ([[User talk:BunsenH|talk]]) 19:49, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

:::Thanks for reaching out to me about it!  Things have gotten a bit busier than usual with work this week, but I'll try to give you a proper response to that this weekend...  –  [[User:Yfmcpxpj|Yfmcpxpj]] ([[User talk:Yfmcpxpj|talk]]) 03:29, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

::::I found the [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Miscellaneous#Sightless_readers_offended_by_the_.22It.27s_.27cause_you.27re_dumb.22_tagline. main discussion], which took place in February 2016 with a few comments appended later.  I'm a bit disappointed by its results.  Not sure if trying to reopen the issue is a good idea; I know that that kind of thing rarely makes people happy even after a few years.  "That was settled!  Why are you trying to restart the argument?"
