You're a clever boy seeing as how you've packed all that into 33 days.
- syngrog66 10y agoI've packed it into multiple decades. there is something else I'd like to feel allowed to say, but, barring that, hoping that @dang instantly bans you for extreme personal rudeness. If he does not, yet another notch in what I see as the dark side or decline of HN.
- barking 10y agoI don't know how long hacker news is on the go, multiple decades surprises me. However you only registered 33 days ago, that was the point I was making. If you find that to be 'extreme personal rudeness' then you must get offended a lot.
- syngrog66 10y ago> You're a clever boy I await your ban from @dang. otherwise I will re-conclude that HN has too high a ratio anymore of assholes-to-signal.
- barking 10y agoI'm not precious, I don't mind you calling me an asshole.
- syngrog66 10y agoyour original comment to me was rude and creepy. therefore I stand by my initial reaction. especially considering the historical ecosystem of HN however... I've looked at your follow-up comments since, and I've spelunked through your post history. Therefore I now believe you did truly make a mistake, and that you honestly did not intend to sound the way that you did. And you gave some reasonable responses. I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I've learned to take an increasingly hard-line against assholes in real life. But I've also learned to try even harder to show empathy and see things from other people's shoes. Therefore I apologize if you felt I over-reacted. And I look forward to seeing awesome contributions from you here in the future. ;-)
