Direct quote you pulled from my book and then commented on. The quote you just referenced is just what I think as my personal opinion, not a statement of fact.
So yes, you can't read, especially when you quote the material.
- onan_barbarian 15y agoSigh. You appear to be in a selective parsing frenzy. Have fun with that. You attempting to draw Big Important Distinctions between the bits of that particular passage that are 'personal opinion' and 'statement of fact' is at least entertaining, given that the whole piece is _all_ pure opinion.
- little_droog 15y agoCan you two just get a room? I think this subthread is providing a fine counterexample to the idea that hiding comment scores magically improves the quality of discussion on HN.
- Dove 15y agoI don't think even the wildest optimist would expect hiding comment scores to tame Zed Shaw.
