Might be a religion thing.
- wyclif 11y agoWait, if someone has 4 children, it's because of religion? That's possibly the stupidest comment I've ever seen on HN, and I've seen a lot.
- DanBC 11y agoWow this thread is grumpy.
- wyclif 11y agoNot grumpy—the grandparent was being a total ass.
- DanBC 11y agoAnd you know that you either flag, or downvote, or ignore the asses. (Or some combination.) You don't write a post to call them idiots, even if they are.
- wyclif 11y agoI've been around here a lot longer than you have. I do know, and I have, but sometimes nastiness needs to be called out.
- DanBC 11y agoSure, but you know that you shouldn't call put nastiness by being nasty.
- wyclif 11y agoNo, I don't know that. I think I did the right thing. Thanks for chiming in, though.

The way to help is to gently point out that we all need to follow the site guidelines. But there are very many others.
