>I would ask that you please consider adjusting your tone. I would ask that you go reread the thread where he made a pretty disingenuous claim about my experience with SCM's. >the beautiful thing about HN is that you can state it politely Look at the timeline of his posts. I didn't start this. You're just replying to me and making it about tone because you disagree with my positions. > and maybe even getting a little feedback from, a successful entrepreneur who sold source code management software to SV powerhouses for many years. And then lost it to someone's side project they made in about a year. The history of SCM's, especially proprietary ones, is essentially a history of failure. >he is doing it for your information I'm going to reask you to reread this thread and truly ask yourself whether he's just hear to share information. He's clearly a little bit jaded by his loss. Allow me to share this choice quote from his first response to a pretty simple claim I made: >You all lost out on "the most sane and powerful" as a result. He's referencing BitKeeper. Which definitely isn't sane or powerful. >Do NOT scare this type of person away from HN or make it too annoying for them to contribute. I'm sorry, he actively is spreading fud so I don't give a shit who he is. >So please put on your big boy pants and show some respect and professional decorum. My tone is blunt. His is disingenuous. Guess which one of these is more harmful to the community. >This is a trade outlet, not reddit, and we try to maintain some respect and not to engage in snide attacks and petty accusations. Are you going to tell this cornerstone of HN the same thing? My guess is probably not.
