I'm confused. Writing a long, mean spirited rant about millions of faceless strangers is totally okay, but saying "I know lots of these strangers and I think the opposite is true" in the comments section is off topic? Soooo are we at a spot where its 100% ok to rip millions of strangers, but the second someone disagrees a mod gets upset and starts editing the discussion? This is bizarre.
- dang 11y ago> the second someone disagrees a mod gets upset That's quite the understatement. You posted close to two dozen indignant comments in a single thread, crossing repeatedly into incivility. That's an abuse of HN by any standard, regardless of how flawed the article and the other comments were.
- ryguytilidie 11y agoSo, to be clear, since you never had a single problem with ANYONE shitting on an entire profession. "Crossing repeatedly into incivility" is something youre offended by only when its not being done toward an engineer. Just trying to figure out the logic behind being okay with the literal hundreds of negative comments about an entire profession in this thread but being super duper upset for me being not that polite in response. Is there logic here or was this just a bit of a tantrum on your part? Perhaps we should have some disclaimer like "feel free to shit on other professions, but if you DARE respond to those posts, fuck you."?
