The site’s guiding principle is “intellectual curiosity”. That’s why Dang “singles out” your comment (which he’s not really doing, he often pulls people up for off-topic rage commenting). > But the same applies to many, many other discussions on HN You’re conflating your style of comment with posted articles, where the author explores a topic, discusses it in depth and proposes a solution. And sure, sometimes those kinds of articles convey some anger or stir some in the reader. But they still have to gratify intellectual curiosity to be considered good HN content. Why don’t you try writing an article like that?
