I don’t disagree with your point but was it necessary to make it in such a snarky way?

- unanswered 5y agoHave you found a better way to defeat Dunning-Kruger? Your comment is entirely unconstructive as it does not suggest an alternative course of action. Criticism on HN should strive to be constructive, or failing that to be left unsaid.
- dang 5y agoWould you please stop breaking the site guidelines? You've been doing it repeatedly and it's not cool. Please just be kind. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- unanswered 5y agoThis is the clearest display yet that moderation on HN has absolutely nothing to do with your purported values like constructive criticism, and has everything to do with whether dang agrees with you or not.
- dang 5y agoI actually have no idea what you were arguing about, nor which side you were on, nor what your argument was. I haven't paid enough attention to know those things, because (a) I don't want to, (b) I don't need to, and (c) not doing it leaves me in the desirable state of being incapable of agreeing or disagreeing. It's a happy fact that figuring out people's arguments is often unnecessary for moderating the threads, especially in cases where people are breaking the site guidelines. Everyone needs to follow the site guidelines regardless of what the topic is, what their argument is, and how right they are or feel they are.
