I 100% agree to what jawngee describes--some HN users have zero sense of humor and come off as condescending, elitist, and self-righteous. In my opinion having a sense of humor is one of the best qualities someone can have and the lack of it is often one of the worst qualities a person can have. Learn to laugh, you'll live longer.
- mathgladiator 16y agoWhy do some HN users have no sense of humor? I got a bunch of down votes because I mentioned orgy once in relation to AIDs; this of course added someone else to fray and they got down-voted. I remember watching a documentary on bad humor which I believed ultimately related the fact that humans find inappropriate things funny to deal with the stress of life. (does anyone know what I am referring too because that would be awesome).
- lotusleaf1987 16y agoI don't know why, but I think a lot of it has to do with keeping HN a space for purely intellectual debate and conversation, or as riderofgiraffes says, "for insight and information." The main argument would be that HN could descend into Reddit, but I think that's very unlikely.
