>Cue up the posts from people criticizing McGrath for doing this.
Given the heartwarming nature of this story, and the regular good nature of the participants on this website, perhaps you might want to consider whether you might be projecting guilt.
Perhaps you feel bad that you're not doing more yourself?
Whether or not that's the case, I think you're taking an unnecessarily negative view of the userbase here.
- mindcrime 7y agoI think you're taking an unnecessarily negative view of the userbase here. Five years ago I would have agreed with you. But have you really not noticed the precipitous shift towards a generally negative attitude around here? It's gotten so bad I almost want to walk away from HN in general. But I have convinced myself that it's a reflection of such a shift in sentiment of society at large, and as much as it sucks, leaving HN wouldn't actually leave me any better off in that case. :-( Of course now I feel guilty, for feeding the negativity by being negative about the negativity. I guess the old War Games quote still holds "The only way to win, is not to play." :-)
