While the GP might have been off base, there has got to be a better way to phrase this argument. The quality of discussion on HN has exponentially decreased in the past few days. It would be cool if we all started to add to these conversations instead of insult each other.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoMeta: IMO part of the problem is the way the site handles opposition, passive-aggressively making unpopular opinions gradually near-impossible to read doesn't support the concept of high-brow, adult, conversation. I think pg was wrong to endorse "down-vote for disagreement"; downvotes should be for poorly made arguments, ad hominems, memes [on this site] and other low value comments. My ideal is something akin to what slashdot has, multi-axis voting that allows users to select to their preferences.
