The comment you replied to did not "display contempt." It pointed out a caveat for quantum efficiency, and that the linked article did not mention the environmental conditions. You could have contributed constructively, but you chose instead to bring down the tone. It is your comment that is not appropriate to a "serious forum."

But the linked article did mention environmental conditions, justifying the "lazy" criticism.

  But you did bring down the tone in an otherwise excellent comment. Assume good faith, please.

    I assume it was in good faith and that he didn't read the article. Lazy and good fatih aren't in odd.

Commenting on another commenters comments as "bringing down the tone" in regards to their comments about another commenters comments "displaying contempt" is what really "brings down the tone" for me.

  Thing is I at least didn’t see the top post as bringing down the tone. They posited questions as folks here do and added to the topic. I for one would not have even known what to ask without the top comment. You assumed a lot of negativity and bad intent from the person and what they wrote that I didn’t see. HN isn’t meant to be a cheer squad for anything new, IMO. It’s meant to be a forum for folks to discuss and people will have differing reactions but so long as they add something interesting, the comments are welcome, again IMO.

  I think you need to look up the meaning of contempt, because the comment clearly displayed that. First by failing to investigate and accurately represent the subject, then by positing it to be useless under supposed and inaccurate hyperbolic conditions. Unfortunately for you in this case your claim is not supported by the facts. But i can say i felt it was pretty funny. I mean ..Wow. I wasn't attacking you, I was attacking the comment. And you could have acknowledged the mistake of the original lazy and skeptical comment, or owned your own inaccurate description, but instead you choose to doubled down and tried, and failed, to attack me. And others. Well played. The "I can't stand being wrong. Ever" look is not great for credibility. Just FYI. And you do so, while pretending you are good and see something bad, while I attack comments and not people. You could have contributed constructively, but you chose instead to bring down the tone. It is your comment that is not appropriate to a "serious forum." Unfortunately for you, this is not the case. I contributed constructively. Your choice was to project your own intense unresolved issues of feeling criticised onto this unrelated discussion, and are blind to my excellence of my contributions because of that. So, it's funny that, it's you, not i, who brings down the tone. Your trying to attack people without justification, and make this thread some twisted outlet for your unresolved mess, are your contributions. It is clearly your comments, not mine, that are grossly inappropriate, both for this serious forum, and for any good interaction between people. For 2021, please reform yourself instead of pretending others are bad and trying to attack them as an excuse to avoid facing your own issues. That will be the best thing for your path and your karma i think. Try to make 2021 the best, not the worst, year of your life.
