Don't call people dumb, it's rude.
- zimpenfish 9y agoYou'll note that I didn't call you dumb, merely the act of generalising. Smart people can do dumb things and calling those out isn't generally an act of rudeness. Heck, half of the comments on HN are exactly that.
- scrumper 9y agoI think your choice of phrasing was inflammatory, although the point you made is fair.
- zimpenfish 9y agoA fair point, apologies. I should have made clear that it was the act of generalising that was attached to dumb.
