Without making any specific accusation I would simply point out that the user with whom you have been conversing is present in [1] and playing the “it’s no big deal” card even then.
- dang 9y agoThis crosses into personal attack, even though you don't specify what you're insinuating. That breaks the HN guidelines, which ask you to be civil and assume good faith, so please don't comment like this here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- postramus 9y agoFair enough but on a site inhabited by intelligent, skeptical people it’s hard to follow those rules when the topic has become “was pg being disingenuous, willfully blind, or simply naive on that day, 6 years ago, when he announced partnership with his mysterious Russian money man?”
- dang 9y agoIt's always hard to follow those rules, most of all when a topic activates one, and we all get activated by something. It happens to hundreds if not thousands of HN users every day (including yours truly on a good measure of those days). Self-restraint is required at such moments. We all need to contribute our share of this if we want HN to survive as a place for substantive discussion.
