I've been here a while and that's never made HN great. HN is supposed a welcoming place for smart folks with an interest in the small intersection between tech and business.
It's always felt like an implicit rule, but it's pretty simple: don't be a dick, and don't discourage people from exploring ideas they think are interesting. What positive outcome could that possibly have?
- bliti 11y agoHonest != being a dick. You can be honest whilst respecting the other person. Being a dick just shows that you are a dick.
