I find it deeply ironic that, judging by the stories regularly posted and upvoted, Hacker News readers supposedly value science, rationalism, evidence-based thinking, etc. Yet the same people reliably upvote these kinds of toxic, detail-free, ungrammatical, emotional rants. By all means, upvote criticism that is properly argued and backed up with evidence. But upvoting these kinds of comments is the equivalent of posting anti-vaccination memes on Facebook.
