what ever happened to the HN rule against middlebrow contrarian responses? maybe at least not having them almost always be the top reply?

- nilkn 7y agoI think my comment is only at the top (for now, at least) because nothing in this thread is particularly upvoted. I certainly didn't mean to offend and I won't take issue if a moderator decides to remove my comment or "demote" it (for lack of a better word). I will say I don't think calling something "middlebrow" is actually a meaningful critique, and there's really nothing I can say in response to that.
- klenwell 7y agoI generally try to avoid downvotes but I downvoted your top-level comment because I thought it was a derail on an important topic that needs more awareness and informed conversation. (To put it in terms some devs might better relate to: I think The 1619 Project is well scoped and your suggestion if followed would introduce unnecessary scope creep.) I did think a couple of your follow-up comments were thoughtful and appropriate so I did upvote those.
