Why is that uncivil? That's an odd reading. And, I wasn't complaining about down-votes. I was enjoying it. Get it right. It's just my statement that millennials appear to be a soul-less, impotent, irritating generation.

  The ol' "hurr-durr damn [currrent_generation]" argument. Yeah being concerned about civil liberties can be irritating to those on the side of oppression

  This kind of name calling is also uncivil. We do ban accounts that continue on like this, so please stop.

I'm sorry, I looked back through my words, and didn't see any name calling. That's fine if you want to ban me. I'll go elsewhere. But, I think you're greatly confusing incivility and name-calling with honesty and pointedness. Am I really offending someone? really? I want dang back. lol.

  I tried to delete my account, but I don't know how. HN is a distraction anyway. I have a company to sell.

    HN doesn't let you delete your account. You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.

  It's true that a phrase like "name calling" doesn't really communicate much—it's really just shorthand for a more complex model of how this community functions. I took a shot at trying to write a more detailed explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13412325 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13412325. It's actually tricky to articulate these things in detail, and takes a lot of time and energy that are usually in short supply, which is why we usually don't. Perhaps I should write a longer piece about it that we could link readers to in the future.

Don't interfere in discussions that are this far above your head, little Scott. You might suffer from altitude sickness.
