I like DFW. I just think he's a witty entertaining writer. I'm far from what I'd consider an intellectual. Love pop culture, video games and other "dumb" stuff.

- bitwize 8y agoThat's kind of how I feel about Rick and Morty. I watched a few eps and liked it, but there's an unpleasant contingent of R&M fandom that use the fact that they like tge show as proof of their intellectual superiority.
- dang 8y agoPlease don't respond with another swipe. That just makes this place worse. Your comment would be fine without the last sentence.
- vaer-k 8y agoI commented to complain about his swipe; you commented to complain about mine. I'm not sure where we're going here.
- mwwilson 8y agodang is one of the mods. This comment is the equivalent of telling the cop who pulled you over for speeding that if you were speeding then he must have been too when he pulled you over.
- dang 8y agoI'm a moderator here; sorry that wasn't clear. It's true that moderation comments are off topic, but we don't know a better way to manage this site. In case you're not aware, the site guidelines underlying HN moderation are at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. It's good to review them periodically.
- vaer-k 8y agoYou should identify yourself if you're going to act in the role of a moderator. I think my comment still stands tho: why do you choose to moderate my comment with a swipe but not the original parent comment?
