I don't understand. I agreed with what ahoy said. She said I was out of the mainstream and people might hate me and people like me due to my comment. I said she was right, that she was also in the mainstream and that people might like her due to her comment.
It's a personal attack to say someone is right and that people might like them?
(I'm assuming since you've singled me out for reply that you have little problem with ahoy's comment.)
- dang 11y agoThat's not at all what you said. Please don't be evasive. > I'm assuming since you've singled me out for reply that you have little problem with ahoy's comment Quite the opposite, and I'm surprised you'd fall for that non sequitur. The comment was bad by HN's standards. It added noise and indignation much more than it added information. I replied to you, though, because you've posted more in this thread and because the pattern I described is problematic.
- yummyfajitas 11y agoI'm honestly not being evasive. I honestly agree with ahoy that "heartless, dispassionate thought" is likel to cause a lot of people to dislike me and other tech people. (I also think it's more likely to be correct.) You've clearly been following my posts, is this an implausible belief for me to hold? If I incorrectly interpreted a comment replying to me as as singling me out, I offer my apologies. Perhaps I'm being oversensitive. I was attempting to make a measured response to what I considered a less than pleasant comment.
