> I wasn't attacking the author, just adding some rare facts to the conversation for people that could be unaware of it and wonder wth the author was meaning. I wasn't responding to your original comment, which I thought added value. I was responding to "It doesn't matter." You're dismissing someone else's perception of the context in which the statement was made. Sure, humor might not matter to you. To some HN users, it might even matter less than factual correctness to a granular level. But to say it doesn't matter, full stop? That's just rude. > Now your comment, what exactly does it add to the conversation? It circles back from your dickish dismissal with an excerpt from the webpage for the sake of humor. Try lightening up. Or, at the very least, maybe try to not be a dismissive jerk to other people. It costs very little to be kind.
