Oh, nah, I was actually saying that in a fairly tongue in cheek sort of way. I could use a bunch of other words there. Crappy readslist, readslist is crap, shitty readslist, readslist is trash, trashy readslist, readslist is a piece of junk, junky readslist, readslist was bad, readslist was poor, and a dozen more. In the moment tho, it felt most apt/tongue-in-cheek to just go with piece of shit, because it just felt like the delivery that'd be most humorous while conveying my point.
I do apologize for that, tho--piece of shit is, as far as ways to call readslists bad, kinda the 'nuclear' option of sort and while in the moment it felt the most apt word to use to convey my humor, in hindsight I realize it was something that was too harsh/drastic a tone shift. (The tone shift was part of what the humor was meant to be, but it was, in hindsight, too extreme.) My bad on that wording.
Sentiment of the readslist being incredibly poor remains tho.

LOL yah i think that with the first two synonyms i would have got the point. Apology accepted, it did feel offensive because invest time playing the game, so when i do reads to the best of my abilities and someone calls them piece of shit, i throw a metaphorical boulder on their head. If it was meant to be humorous i obviously didnt catch it but I’ll accept it.
