One of the things I dislike about social networks is that people carry over short snarky commenting style to places on the net where you expect people to post more thoughtful comments. Or technical forums where your trying to have a detailed conversation and solve problems. It can really add unnecessary noise to otherwise productive boards. I really wish people would take a breather and slow down before posting outside of those services. They also seem to be more of a time sink then anything else where people can procrastinate from doing more productive or important things. I suppose I'm guilty of doing the same thing on HN on occasion.
