- dang 7y agoPlease don't cross into personal attack on HN.
- iamnothere123 7y agoIts not a personal attack, Its just true
- dang 7y agoTrue things can be personal attacks.
- iamnothere123 7y agoDescribing the state of something is not an attack
- dang 7y agoYou can't reduce communication to simple rules like that. It depends on who is communicating what to whom and why. For example, when a middle school kid has acne and another kid goes on about their face, that is not a neutral "describing the state of something". Everything they say may be perfectly true, yet it is certainly a personal attack—and the more cruel, the more true it is.
- iamnothere123 7y agoSeriously are you taking child behavior as an example? "Argument by analogy" look it up
- dang 7y agoAdults are no different from children in this respect, and the example is particularly easy to relate to. Please don't post rude swipes in HN comments. It's against the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), even when addressing a moderator.
- iamnothere123 7y agoThe bar for what is offensive is very low it seems. Any good discussion will always end up offending some one. Just don't take it too personally
- dang 7y agoI wouldn't personally frame this in terms of "the bar for what is offensive", with its overtones of "what you can't say" and all of that. It's rather that we want users to remain kind to each other, when talking about difficult things. The intention is not to exclude or suppress communication, but to enhance it. Still, you're welcome to frame it in whatever way works for you. The point is that you need to follow the site guidelines if you want to continue posting here. If you'd please review them and take their spirit more to heart, we'd be grateful.
