I thought that if so many were being offended on the behalf of others (women, parents, elderly, I dunno), the implication was that there was something that needed attention.
- tptacek 11y agoDue respect, but who do you think you're kidding? Use your browser, hit CMD-F (or whatever), type "offen", and grep through the thread to see who's using that word. Now pay attention to the timestamps and see who's introducing it. The only person to use the word before you was carefully explaining that they were not taking offense. You responded to them by accusing them of being "primed and ready". Please, please stop doing this to HN threads. What you're doing on this one is poisonous.
- bcook 11y agoTop thread refers the title being "insulting", which is what set this whole thing in motion. I am not ranting & raving. I am having a logical conversation. Stop treating me like I am out of control. I am happy to have a logical conversation, but your numerous "please, please stop" replies are non-contributory and demeaning, so... please stop. :)
- tptacek 11y agoI didn't accuse you of "ranting and raving".
- bcook 11y agoNo, you just said my posts were poisonous and you repeatedly begged me to stop, which is completely unconstructive criticism, bordering on plain old insults, which I never resorted to. Just because I disagree with you, you think you can bully me with nonsense rather than having a conversation? Whatever. You win.
