- staticelf 9y agoBecause it's fucking stupid and below HN. You are still giving a fantasy figure the credit since he put the right guy there.
- dang 9y agoReligious flamewar is not allowed on HN. Please don't post like this here, regardless of how wrong or annoying other comments are. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- staticelf 9y agoWell, it is not disallowed like you say but I see what you mean. I would edit away the first sentence but I can't anymore. > Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents. This is what I responded to in the first place, flamebait. But I would have no issues saying the first sentence in real life, to the face of anyone making such a comment. I did not know how else to put it because it seriously makes zero sense and is impossible to debate.
