Hacker News Community, 4 out of 8 comments as it stand is basically a longer version of "Stephen Wolfram is a narcissist".
This is pretty poor form, if not for the fact that it is a cliché critique, because it fails to consider that Stephen is a businessman and it is natural to promote his work and businesses by extension.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoI count only 2 such comments; one already dead, and the other I just flagged. I'm for (and unilaterally supporting) site-wide ban for the "Wolfram narcissist" comments, as it's a tired cliché and detracts from the good points made by the author.
- dang 9y agoWolfram Derangement Syndrome is off topic on HN, as is anything so immutably repetitive. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=wolfram%20derangement&sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=false&page=0 https://hn.algolia.com/?query=wolfram%20derangement&sort=byD... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10978871 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10978871 But it would be better to silently flag or downvote such comments than to draw more attention them by posting. Feel free to alert us at hn@ycombinator.com too so we can take a quick look.
