When did we get to a point where every instance of someone being an asshole is news?
- csydas 11y agoThough I'd agree this doesn't really fit with the style of most HN articles, there's a little more to the story than just "someone being an asshole", and it's enough to at least facilitate some discussion, regardless of whether or not said discussion devolves into a Internet fight.
- alistproducer2 11y agoDiscussion of what? That there are assholes who will give a game a negative review because there's something "gay" in it? At what point do we just accept that there will always be assholes in private life. If we're talking about public figures with the ability and will to do harm to folk because of their asshole views, then we can/should discuss. If we had a discussion every time trolls trolled we'd have little time for anything else.
