HN Guidelines:
“Be kind. Don't be snarky...
Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say.
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It destroys intellectual curiosity, which the site exists for.”
If you want to make a comment about the First Lady, you could have said “I wonder if Mrs. Trump would have qualified under the proposed standards.” That could have then led to a discussion of how visas had been allocated in the past. Calling her a mail order bride adds nothing to the conversation and instead just serves as a cheap shot based on a dislike of Trump rather than a debate on the policies.
- craftyguy 7y ago>Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It destroys intellectual curiosity, which the site exists for.” Half the posts on 'hacker' 'news' are for inciting political/ideological battles, including this article. It has nothing to do with the guidelines for what types of articles should be posted on 'hacker' 'news'. Or did you selectively choose to ignore those?
- dang 7y agoThat's not even close to true, though I can understand why it might feel true.
