The number of hn users replying solely to tone and not content is pretty disappointing.
- nxzero 11y agoPossible it's tone, but also given the relatively low volume of voting, and it's unclear to me what if any steps HN takes to reduce abuse and fine tune community comment policies, it's very possible that something else is going on. For example, some users appear to have comment histories that are highly irregular; one comment suggesting Snowden should be invited to return to the US without any chance of being behind bars or worst, and in another appearing to state that the US has not overstepped their rights; which is possible, though strikes me as bit odd; 100% sure my comments to some are a bit odd, though do try to respond if a direct statement is expressed.
