  4. Miss the point completely.

    I understand the point after you clarified it. You seem to be completely baffled that anyone would interpret it any differently.

      Based on your last comment, it seems you still don’t understand the point. I’m not sure what else to say. At the risk of this still going nowhere, I’ll try to clarify.

      I am not baffled that you interpreted it differently, but I feel like had you looked at the context and the order of the comment chain, you would have realized I was making a point about how in almost every thread about a 3D printed food adjacent item, there’s always people coming in to yell about bacteria and microplastics. And I was praising the other commenter for not being one of those. It’s rare to see a nuanced view on the subject of microplastics and bacteria in 3D prints. My comment was directed to them directly and not involving you in any way. And obviously I wasn’t the only one who realized that. I’m not the one downvoting you.

      I also never said anything about not questioning the safety, those are your words. I agree it is something to be aware of, but I think it’s not a black/white issue and you should decide for yourself the level of risk. For me personally, it’s basically a nonissue as the amount of microplastics getting into my silverware is so minimal that I’m not worried about it compared to everything else that I’m getting microplastics from. I never said anyone shouldn’t worry about it at all. I was just happy to see a nuanced response to your question instead of the pitchforks and scolding for even thinking about 3D printing something food related.

      I think your question was perfectly reasonable and the answer seathru gave you was also perfectly reasonable and I was happy to see the nuance for once. Maybe my comment was too forward about not seeing how you interpreted as you did, and I apologize if that’s the case. But I just think given the context, you could have seen it wasn’t about you as at least one other commenter did as did I. I kinda feel like you just glanced at the comments and took what I said personally and your emotions took over, but that’s just my assumption. I could be wrong. But I can concede that without looking at the context, it could have been interpreted the way you did.
