I get that old, inconsiderate, a-holes clap loudly right next to other people's heads, causing hearing injury, but normal clapping... wtf? It seems a bit fascist to tell people what they can and can't do, like an ISIS encampment. Are they going to tell people they can't sneeze or nod their heads next?
- eesmith 7y agoSome people are anxious by normal clapping, yes. See the video I linked to elsewhere here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ine7xIlLxgc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ine7xIlLxgc . Christian churches also tell people what they can and cannot do during services. Do you also think that a bit fascist? HN moderators tell people what they can and cannot write. Also fascist? In Germany, the academic tradition is to knock on the table, not clap. Also fascist? I think this cast is a fundamental expression of the freedom of association, guided by democratic voting. Do you really want to deny the students the right to vote on what their internal policies might be?
