I'd like to think we can keep personal attacks like this off of HN without some sort of substantiation.
- ixtli 10y agoHow is this a personal attack? It simply acknowledges that both of these websites are written by individuals. Would the substance of the comment be different had he simply used the website's names?
- MBCook 10y agoCalling someone a shill is a personal attack.
- ixtli 10y agoWhat is the appropriate phrasing, then? "This website is a surrogate for apple that posts their press releases without analysis?" I just don't see what the practical difference is: we're all adults, we know the point that's trying to be made.
