- defaultname 5y agoWhich guideline does it go against? Can you name even one? The Luddite "ooh this is scary" posts always do well on HN. People are allowed to disagree. When someone cites completely and utterly irrelevant authority on the topic, it just betrays that they're playing the crowd. Amazing, albeit sad, how well it works here.

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. > When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names.
