I have a problem with that statement. Still it’s good to see thst your first instinct is military grade handwaving. I have to wonder if you have similarly high standards in all cssss, or if your skepticism is reserved primarily as a means of deflection. All of which is to say thst you could actually trust the people telling you their stories in the article, or discuss the underlying issues, rather than deflect via nitpicking. It’s grotesque. This whole thread, the voting patterns, the flagging of the article, and the sheer force of whining from people who feel put upon by hearing about this is also grotesque... More than it would be on another site, where at least stupidity and lack of education could be an excuse. Edit: I mean, look at this thread and compare it here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497551 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497551 It would be funny, if it weren’t so childishly obvious.

  > All of which is to say thst you could actually trust the people telling you their stories in the article, or discuss the underlying issues As in the last time you hijacked a thread as an excuse to complain about other people expressing an opinion you personally disagree with, you haven't discussed, or shown any interest in discussing, a single issue in the article. You flag people left right and center, simply because they don't happen share your personal views. When that doesn't remove their posts, you throw around insults like "stupidity", "childishly", "asinine points", "crazy" and accusations of intellectual dishonesty. Again, all because other people don't happen to share your personal views, which you seem to think are the last and only word on any issue. You complain that the article is flagged, despite also complaining that articles like this produce "utterly predictable" comments. Despite the "grotesque" and "depressing" nature of the thread, you can't help but wade into it yourself, where in multiple posts the only one where you don't post insults or complain about people with different opinions is this, straight out of Python[1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497538 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497538 > Edit: I mean, look at this thread and compare it here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497551 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497551 Remarkable that in both threads two other usernames specifically namecheck you, "IntronExon", the 40 day old account (with ~3000 karma, that posts like a veteran). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497946 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497946 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16496993 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16496993 [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvcnx6-0GhA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvcnx6-0GhA

    Going on a rant implying that there is somehow a grand conspiracy at foot while also attacking the user personally is not doing you any particular favors, considering you're doing exactly the same thing you're purporting he's doing.

      When making up what I wrote, are you hoping nobody bothers to read what I wrote, or what? Quote me ranting about a "grand conspiracy". Quote me "attacking the user personally". > considering you're doing exactly the same thing you're purporting he's doing. What is it you imagine you're doing with this post, exactly?

        > These are personal attacks. No, they're statements about behavior, and no more "personal attacks" than you falsely accusing me of making personal attacks, or of falsely accusing me of "ranting" about a "grand conspiracy at foot". > This is an allusion to conspiracy. So it's no longer a "grand conspiracy", just a mere "allusion to conspiracy"? What's the "conspiracy" you claim I'm alluding to then?
