This whole conversation seems a bit odd, like it's straying just slightly outside HN norms. Have the comments been edited? Or am I missing some self-referential griefer irony in this thread?
- anigbrowl 10y agoI don't think so. I do get shirty when I think someone is being willfully obtuse.

Your comment got killed because you used a phrase. I've told you what that was, and that your comment got killed. I am unable to use the exact phrase because (obviously) doing so would kill my comment. > willfully obtuse. Yes, it's fucking infuriating even when it's not wilful.
- __david__ 10y agoBTW, after reading all these comments a day later it's my personal opinion that angribrowl is "griefing" the comment section here as some sort of performance art piece. It's the only "charitable" reading of their behavior.
- DanBC 10y agoDo you have SHOWDEAD turn on in your profile? Anigbrowl used a phrase that auto kills comments. I pointed that out. I can't use the actual phrase because (obviously) it'll kill my comment. I will say that it's tiresome to deal with someone being quite so aggressive.
