I get it, you see yourself as the watchman on the tower. You're telling people to not be suckers, sheep, etc. Wake up, don't look at the bright and shiny, there are REAL problems here. Am I hearing you correctly now?
Griping, by itself, is repulsive. Getting grumpier because others are turned off by you doesn't help. In my opinion, rather than doubling down on the grouchiness, the best thing you can do is flip the script; turn off the complaints and retort with leadership or ideas on how you'd improve things.
I doubt you're as skeptical and questioning as you think you are, though. You use lots of hyperbolic language which makes me think you've bought into a lot of hype.
- babyrainbow 10y agoAs I see it, there is nothing in your comment that is worthy of a reply. So not bothering.
- EdSharkey 10y agoWow, flagged and dead, what did you originally write?! There's no profit in doubling-down!
- babyrainbow 10y agoI said "As I see it, there is nothing in your comment that is worthy of a reply. So not bothering.". I guess that had too little sugar coating for HN's taste...
- EdSharkey 10y agoThat's lame, I thought you had edited something after the fact. I take back what I said!
