There are better places if you just want to talk about yourself.

  > There are better places if you just want to talk about yourself. hmm, I don't agree with what you are implying defines acceptable comment content on HN. There are many if not a majority of comments highly rated on HN which are highly personal that necessarily talk about themselves, it's part of what makes those comments interesting, if we all commented like wikipedia articles it would be a dull place indeed. My comment maybe flawed in the eyes of other HN readers, but not for the reason you have highlighted. In my case it's is both personal and relevant but to be honest - not interesting or insightful which is probably why someone mean enough gave me a downvote... but then afterwards I broke the "first rule of fight club" which on HN is equivalent to throwing yourself to the wolves, I accept that, and also can't help it, it's just my nature, I don't self censor for points.

  Come now, that's not nice. It's fine to talk about one's experiences on HN. That's what people do in conversation.
