Your previous post wasn’t very helpful. You were speaking negatively of both the article and the site without making an actual argument about either. Unsubstantive negativity and dismissals are nether educational for everyone reading, nor encourage a good community.
Disagreeing is usually fine, but you do need to do it the right way, per Monty Python.
“An argument’s not the same as contradiction... An argument is a connected series of statements to establish a definite proposition.”
“No it isn’t!”

- subfay 8y agoI disagree and tbh, your tone is not better. The things I pointed out in my first post are not that off. But I don't want to discuss these ridiculous cruises further, I find this topic and the article, yes I have to admit, super boring and on something like HN so off-topic. We all know why this cruise article was posted here (read on). Re HN and depression, suicide and related topics. Just check HN's search and you will see what I mean. Compared to any other forum HN has a quite large share of such posts. This annoys me, HN is full of great people, great topics, content at the cutting edge. This stuff is not why I drop by. Hence my aggression against this article posted here. Btw, till now I got four downvotes for my second comment in it has not been flagged yet. This is why I assumed earlier that HN or some of their mods helped. We know why this might have happened and we know that this should not happen. Happy to hear now your, hopefully more balanced, view.
