This is the type of post that is contributing to the decline of HN. It's mean spirited and inflamatory, veiled by a thin layer of actual argument. You critize the author for a lack of credentials, yet claim that no one knows better than you how to create a brand online? Let's see your credentials then, because apparently you are God's gift to earth.
Quite frankly no one had the credentials to write a post like yours. It doesn't matter if you are right about the article. What a joke.
- drunkpotato 17y agoI also don't agree with the tone of the reply; however, I sympathize with his irritation. I share it. I agree with you that the reply should be re-thought: one shouldn't post on HN with anger, but with a contribution to the conversation that is likely to generate intelligent discussion. Edit: "re-through" to "re-thought"
- whyleyc 17y agoThe post from Avand was largely hyperbole and headline-grabbing, and your reponse here is little better either. Calling-out other posters as "a joke" does nothing to foster rational debate.
