Your feelings may have tempted you into making this off-topic post. The linked essay concerns comment section protocols, not personalities.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 7y agoAnd the post you replied to is also talking about how Anil Dash behaves on Twitter (== comment section of an online community), and I agree with them that though he might not agree with this assessment, Dash's behavior is more likely to fall on the asshole side than not. This isn't about the ad-hominem. The general point Dash is trying to make is fine. But it's easy to preach about not allowing assholes when you don't consider yourself to be one. The day the zeitgeist shifts considerably in the favor of assessing him as an asshole, I suspect Dash might sing a very different tune about site moderation policies.
