Hi, I downvoted you because you appear to lack reading comprehension ("girly" is not HN's word or even the article author's word: HN is quoting the author and the author is quoting his critics). Either that, or you have some extreme political ideology under which it's not even permissible to quote people critically when they express inappropriate sentiments — if that's your position, you did a poor job of explaining it.
Then I flagged you because, in addition, your wording was pugnacious ("Is HN better than that?").
- dang 9y agoI appreciate the good part of your point, but this sort of thing breaks the HN guidelines: > you appear to lack reading comprehension > or you have some extreme political ideology Would you please re-read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow them when commenting here? They apply regardless of how wrong the other person is. Actually they apply most of all when the other person is wrong, because otherwise you give people a good reason to dismiss your correction.
