Where is this being said? People will not take your position seriously if you're not using context, because you're misrepresenting what is happening. This is something thats done in other places, but as far as I know, has nothing to do with the memo, and nothing to do with the parent post you're responding to. Therefore, you're using a strawman.
- KirinDave 9y agoI'm referring to a Hacker News thread not even 3 weeks old. In that specific paragraph I'm commenting on Hacker News, not the memo.
- sokoloff 9y agoA random HN thread from possibly several weeks ago to which you don't provide a link. Are you surprised that some (most?) people couldn't make a connection?

If you firmly don't think there is an issue then you simply don't notice. I've been at the other side of the fence so I know what it is like ;-)
