Sincere question for you: Why does it bother you so much that someone wrote something about something on the web (as hinted by your opening sentence)? Why should we care that the thought is half-baked? Does it rob you of precious space on the internets?
Sometimes, we just want to use the medium to share thoughts with people, there's no cause to be annoyed or even condescending like that, it makes for a horrible atmosphere where no one will want to engage in public discourse.
- acjohnson55 11y agoFair point. Maybe I was too harsh. I do believe that people should be able to work out their ideas publicly. And perhaps it's not the author's fault that it ended up on HN. But the again, if you visit the blog now, the piece reads: > Update: this post was the product of an exhausted mind, and as such it misused terms, wasn’t well backed-up, and was generally incoherent. I’m withdrawing it until such time as I can articulate these ideas a little more competently. I look forward to the outcome of this.
