On one hand he has a temper; on the other hand different cultures express disagreement/debate/etc in very different ways. The tendency for many youg americans (particularly from California) to insist that everyone use their "strong statements are bad, please make sure you don't hurt anyone's feelings" style of rhetoric and that anything else is invalid is quite frustrating. It's actually fairly present on HN, where I've seen several times people having perfectly civil (albeit curt by Silicon Valley standards) debates finding themselves chastised by the moderation team.
- michaelmrose 10y agoEvery time I read something that makes me want to tell someone that they are a blithering idiot whose ideas are only worth writing down if its on paper that is soft enough to use as toilet paper I take a breath and find I can express what is wrong with their ideas without saying so. Actually having to focus on the ideas as opposed to the party has a tenancy to improve the quality of the analysis.
