/upvote for caring about the source of motivation
- BrandonM 19y agoI downvoted this because I've seen three "/*vote" comments from you just today and they're starting to get annoying. What's the point of the "/" again?
- curi 19y agoMy votes don't count, so I write them in comments. Feel free to complain to pg. the / is like an irc command or various other places. PS your profile says to email you but doesn't give an email address.
- rms 19y agowhat's the point of Paul Graham taking away voting rights and refusing to give them back?
- allenbrunson 19y agoi don't know the whole story of pg taking away your voting rights, but as a guess, i'd say he did so because he felt you were abusing the privilege. so now, rather than getting the message and being cool about it, you and curi are incessantly belly-aching instead. in pg's place, i'd be thinking it's about time to ban both of you altogether.
- curi 19y agowow, that's some amazing deference to authority. you don't know what happened, but assume if someone gets in trouble they must have deserved it.
- rms 19y ago>i'd say he did so because he felt you were abusing the privilege. I still don't think giving NSX2 20 upvotes was a very big deal. After Paul told me to stop, I did, then he took away my voting rights three days later. He didn't like my reply to his nasty email telling me to stop upvoting. My reply was "Sometimes you take yourself too seriously." Paul interpreted this as a "Fuck you." Which it really wasn't, though in the context of the email he sent me, I could see why anything other than "Yes sir, I'm sorry" could be interpreted as "fuck you." He has since ignored my attempts to apologize.
