It's crazy to me that I see more insane opinions on HN about this than on reddit. Always considered HN a more rational crowd but I'm very disappointed by the users in this thread.

- tekknik 5y ago> The whole point is doing your duty to protect the vulnerable. By potentially harming myself? Who exactly charged me with this duty and was it by my choice? Do you assume that HN harbors the same groupthink that reddit does? Do you not want discourse? Do you assume all others believe what you believe (that we have some obligation to potentially harm ourselves for the good of the many thing)? That’s exactly what I love about HN, that thing called diversity. Also your attempt to shame me into alignment of your believes failed.
