when there are arguments, like in the Jeremy post, commenting about tones and formal things is a huge FAIL. It is part of the expression of everyone to use the words and tones he wishes, as long as no one is going to be offended (if you are super-sensible this is your problem). One thing I always feel as a problem is that the programming community here in HN is a bit too middle class-ish, this is annoying: you are off topic, you are not polite, respect the fact I don't understand, blablabla. Hacking is in my vision connected with cultural freedom, and not being polite is not the only but one of the possible expressions. So reply to arguments and stop to be so childish.
