So, do you feel it's irrelevant to mention that it was said in a chat conversation, in 2004 when Zuckerberg was 20 years old? I'm not saying that makes what he said completely fine, but it's not irrelevant for context.
- sah2ed 9y agoI wasn't the one you originally replied to but it looks like you are shifting the goal posts here. > Maybe I'm the only one on HN that hasn't heard about it, but even so, sources shouldn't be omitted. You asked for sources and I merely provided one such source as "proof" that Zuck actually did use those words in the past.
- hnarn 9y agoSorry, you're right that I mixed you up with whoever posted the original comment. I do think context matters though, of course that makes no sense to say specifically to you.
- bigiain 9y agoI did say it was "a quip" - and I'm sure quite a few people here understood the context - apologies for those who didn't. For me, it's kind of a geek culture equivalent of a pop culture reference - not quite as ubiquitously recognised as "Oh my god! They killed Kenny!", but probably (in this audience) as recognisable as 'Quoth the Raven, "Eat my shorts!"'
