I actually enjoyed the parts of your comment that did not include the personal attacks. Overall they weaken your stance and make your arguments feel less genuine. I think you have some really good points otherwise. Consider updating this comment (and ones in the future) to use a more mature tone, and I would imagine you would garner more interest in both your product and your goals.
- breck 7y agoYeah I agree. Sometimes I'm too rushed to be nice! I've pitched HN a lot on perhaps creating a more restrictive grammar to help keep conversations constructive. I saw that Grammarly actually rolled out something new that shows a simple smiley/frown based upon the town of the content in your textarea. IRL I'm not an argumentative person, but I consider coding/posting on forums to be my equivalent of the gridiron, and I hope people don't take offense when I fight hard on the field. I'm just hoping we can all get to the correct answers the quickest, and so if people think I'm wrong, please provide data or detailed explanations as to why, or else be prepared to take some heat.
