Its not my comments that are causing the problem.
I was just responding to the same techie myth that humans are so, very, very logical.
I know that HN commentators believe otherwise and any comment that denies the orthodoxy is downvoted.
However, you will notice that not once did I attack another commentator. However, I was attacked plenty. Did you say anything to them?
- dang 11y agoYou're asked to follow the guidelines here whether or not somebody else is. Please post civilly and substantively or not at all. "So now tell me about your love life", "Do you realize how completely whacked you sound", etc., are neither of these.
- pm24601 11y agoWell I didn't make any assumptions. But fair enough. I am sorry for causing you extra work. I know being a moderator can be an annoying frustrating position. And it is really easy to let power go to your head. Thanks for keeping a good balance. I think it is hysterical: being super polite to others attacking me personally gets them all hot and bothered. When people start getting all ad hominem on me, I try to be more polite the more hostile they get. (btw, I am bummed he/she never did tell me about the love life, I lost 100 billion status points and I didn't get any NSFW details). But o.k. I will stop responding. Have a better day! :-)
