>Someone shares something interesting and OP gets a barrage of nit-picky commentary
everyone on hn is of the belief about themselves that they're dispassionate (objective) intellectuals and so of course their criticisms aren't in bad faith.
and moderators never address these kinds of comments but do often address comments like yours because they incite "flame wars" (since dispassionate intellectuals can be quite defensive).
- jjeaff 7y agoI actually saw a comment yesterday from someone meta commenting on someone's project saying that the problem with coders is that they/we are "too nice" and thus we encourage too much bad practice. So ridiculous that I didn't even feel it deserved a response.
