Ad hominem and appeal to authority are not the best way to argue about technology, so let's leave this.
It seems to be de riguer when dealing with some of the top ranked people on HN, who all too often seem to have long ago forgotten the rules that they apparently think no longer apply to them because they have more karma than god.
My hat is off to you in how well you handled this.
- jacquesm 9y agoMichele, I know you don't like me and I know you feel the need to insert your $0.02 wherever you feel you can stick the knife in. What drives you to do this I have absolutely no clue, but I'm sure you have your reasons. Enjoy.
- Mz 9y agoI don't dislike you, I just dislike the degree to which you have zero respect for me. I think you are full well aware of the reasons I do the things I do. I don't look to stick anyone with a knife. It is shocking how comfortable people are with casually watching my suffering and doing nothing about it while acting like any push back I give against the systemic issues that help keep me trapped in dire poverty somehow makes me evil incarnate.
- jacquesm 9y agoI have zero respect for you because of how you treat others. Promising them the moon to only yank the rug out from under them when it matters. You know full well what I'm talking about here and that's something that I will not forgive you for. Your circumstances have nothing to do with any of this.
- Mz 9y agoPromising them the moon to only yank the rug out from under them when it matters. You know full well what I'm talking about here and that's something that I will not forgive you for. If I am guessing correctly as to what you are talking about, you have that backwards. That person abandoned me. I did not abandon them.
