@philokalia saidYes. If I say I think something is waffle, then I think it has not succeeded. At least to my way of thinking. So you find that "insulting"?
Aw, but you see, when one says that you are writing or saying something that "does not have much or anything important or useful or pertinent to say" or assesses something as having "lengthy verbiage that is confused or unfocused," you are suggesting that they are doing a very poor job of writing or speaking.
And thus yuo are calling someone else's efforts a fail ...[text shortened]... us, it would be seen as insulting to ascribe these characteristics to someone's writing or speaking.
