I don't think this snarkyness is warranted. Your parent poster didn't argue against your claim, they simply asked you to present a coherent claim with references.
- walrus01 5y agoPeople tend to react in a less that perfectly polite manner when being called "lazy" by random persons on the internet (for reference: in the top 20 google results at the link I originally provided are many instances of Culp taking "problematic" positions, such as denying that he lost the election and crying fraud for months after November, which is a sign of being detached from reality).
- baobabKoodaa 5y ago>> "highly problematic individual" is as lazy as saying someone's "bad" or "evil" just in more modern wording. > People tend to react in a less that perfectly polite manner when being called "lazy" Parent poster didn't call you (as a person) lazy. They called the wording you chose as lazy. FWIW, I agree with that characterization. It's lazy to just call people "problematic" without bothering to specify what is problematic about them (which you have since done in a subsequent post).

- YeGoblynQueenne 5y agoOP is not the HN police, but every HN user is an HN moderator. It doesn't say so anywhere, but in practice that's what the up/downvote controls and flag links do. Or did you really believe dang is the only HN moderator? :)
- baobabKoodaa 5y agoI didn't flag or downvote the post. I just asked for some civility. If you feel like it doesn't add to the discussion, that's your opinion and you are free to express it. (And I didn't downvote you either.)
