- ceejayoz 10y agoRules lawyering with the moderator isn't likely to work that well.
- Natsu 10y agoThey have a pretty short comment history and no (visible) prior warnings (I was curious, so I looked). From the outside, the request is not unreasonable given the statement about "[t]his comment and others you've posted".
- dang 10y agoHN's rules don't work that way, partly because formalizing them would merely turn them into a long list with an infinite number of loopholes to be exploited, and partly because we'd die of boredom if we tried. Users here are simply expected to live by the spirit of the law—civility and substantiveness—when commenting here. Snarky one-liners that characterize a (vague) opposing view as "killing human beings" fail the "civil and substantive" test. Plus there's outright rudeness in comments such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11663455 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11663455 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11651181 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11651181, which has no place here.
- paxcoder 10y agoI always substantiate any of my one-liners. In this particular case see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11836930 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11836930 . Few things are more deserving of "snarky" treatment. The other two (chronologically disordered) examples are a product of my indignation with an obstinate person who wasted people's time and, brazenly ignoring their arguments as well as my own, continued arguing FUD. Bottom point: I am not malicious and I contribute. So I'd appreciate if the trigger was not pulled on me even though it's probably the only way to get one's comments removed from here :-/
