I'm shocked when I see the stuff people say in comment threads on other sites. Digg are obviously notorious, but I was stunned at some of the comments I've received on the site, or by users associating themselves with Digg off the site. I guess I feel like Hacker news is a place for smart grownups who have figured out that having differing opinions isn't a reason not to be civil or even friends.
