- dang 9y agoPlease read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and raise your standards by a few orders of magnitude.

"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
- dang 9y agoI didn't mean it as a jab at you, more as a wry nod to Reddit. The 'wry nod to Reddit' genre is an ancient HN tradition. But I see your point, and you're right that it's hard for me to follow the guidelines too. It's work that we all need to do.
