Discussion Posts Are Really Teaching Me Something Important.

It's the importance of phoning it in and ignoring useless feedback.

If I spend the kind of time and effort that would require a good outcome, I would have to not only neglect the rest of my life but the actual course materials that matter. I'm getting feedback that makes it sound like my professor wants an academic level paper on my introduction post. It's completely off the rails.

This is the least important part of the course, both in terms of grades and content. I'm not doing that. Anything not worth doing is not worth doing well.

Dude needs to adjust his expectation.
