It really sucks on HN that users like you who get past a particular karma threshold hold down users who have legitimate curious questions. It incentivizes not having unpopular discussions, and really turns me off to the site entirely. So could you please not?
This isn't a facetious statement. I'm trying to keep this on topic: AWS loves Rust, so maybe I should, too. Could we have a discussion about why?
The mechanism you're using is probably one of the most irritating features on HN and Reddit to me.
- renewiltord 6y agoSorry, legitimate curiosity is too low a threshold for me. If you want to chat further about this POV, happy to discuss over email (in profile). Would rather not pollute this thread.
- andrewmcwatters 6y agoIf discussions on a forum are pollution to you, then I don't know what to say. People discuss things. Communication is a part of learning. Sorry that's beneath you? Sorry I didn't discuss things the way you wanted? I mean, not really, but you have leverage on the forum, and you're making it a really undesirable place to reply in.
- nothowthisworks 6y agoMate, you are the absolute worst type of person to try to have a constructive conversation with. You have turned nearly every reply into a combat. Each one a chance for you to claim you were slighted by big bad bullies. And rather than taking the explicit feedback you've gotten, instead you've imagined some sort of conspiracy against you. >> I just have too much experience in the industry to throw away my time and play with toys. Seriously, get out of here trying to gaslight everyone by acting like you came into this thread with a genuine sense of curiosity. I hope you seek out an external perspective on how you appear in this thread.
