As far as I can tell, you are what's wrong with HN. His post is a well-justified opinion, with reasoning provided, whether you chose to agree or disagree with that. Somebody may (or may not) take it into consideration. Yours are simply "how dare you!"-post, adding absolutely no value to the discussion. Also, learn capitals, it's hard to read you like that.
- mlevental 8y agothere is zero justification in the post I responded to outside argument from authority and prescription so i have no idea what you're talking about
- andrepd 8y agoI have not one single time invoked any kind of authority to make the points I'm making. It was only below, after you've (ironically) invoked the writer's credentials and insultingly proclaimed I never should be allowed to ever teach anything, that I let you know my qualifications.
- twtw 8y agoErm... > Like Leslie Lamport says Pretty clear appeal to authority, IMO.
- andrepd 8y ago20 lines of reasoning and one quote that I think conveys what I mean. I think if you can't honestly engage with that besides accusing me of "appeal to authority" there is nothing to be gained from continuing a discussion. Btw it's actually Lamport quoting Spivak.
