I understand you're going to use the least charitable reading because you disagree with me but it was supposed to be a comment about the quality of discourse in internet comments.

Have you thought of the irony between the quote, your explanation and the comments you post? I looked at the last 5-10 comments in your history. Two comments were for articles you clearly didn't read. Others are quick sound bytes thrown at people digging at the truth. It's like your trying to be cool. I think HN is loved because here there is a higher percentage of people making long, well thought out comments AFTER reading the article. And the comments are generally aimed at furthering understanding, not people's individual ego. Doesn't always happen, but I find it happens here more than anywhere else I've found. I invite you to contribute in the same line, that's what makes this place special for me.
