Turn the HN angry mob mode off
Funny how, to the rich and powerful, any amongst the lower orders who dare to ask questions are always an 'angry mob'.
We’re all in this together
That would have been nice. Too late.
- pfortuny 6y agoForcing togetherness or “unity” is the best way to turn me away from anything. Silly? No, just suspicious of judgements and valuations like those.
- Talanes 6y agoI've never heard a call for "unity" that wasn't really saying "abandon your principles for mine."
- dang 6y agoPlease don't post in the flamewar style to HN, regardless of how provocative another comment was or you feel it was. I can understand how that bit could have rubbed some commenters the wrong way (it affected me that way too), but confirming the point is not a good way to respond to it. By HN standards, let alone internet standards, the thread was unusually mild. Of course that provocation made it angrier, but I'm sure it was unintentional.
