That's certainly one way to get people to immediately stop listening to you. Parent merely was talking about the wireless cards.
- Razengan 7y agoGP has extremely vitriolic comments like [0]: > Haskell is a community of cancerous people that should die, along with cancer. This being a tech discussion forum, I really think dang and other HN admins should count attacks based on people's choice of tech as a form of hate speech against any other groups. Such attacks only distress readers and the buildup of noise from the inevitable responses gradually devolves this place down to the Reddit/4chan tier.

- IAmEveryone 7y agoReading through GP's posts I'm getting a vibe of some sort of personality disorder and/or extreme loneliness. I've seen people develop exactly that sort of holier-than-though techno-puritanism in such circumstances. I can even recognise that mechanism in myself, although I've been lucky enough to leave most of it behind after my teenage years. Anyway, I wouldn't necessarily equate such statements with actual hate speech. It's just hyperbole and Haskell/Python/Ruby users are probably save. The comments are still bad because they just don't add anything.
