> It’s equivalent to calling people the 4 letter n word. No, it's absolutely different thing. One is derogative racial slur, carrying a baggage of slavery, violence, rapes, and systemic injustice that's present in the society to this day; and the other one is a description of people who choose to ignore science and are willing to risk life of others basing on their anecdotal evidence.

I said "4 letter". You are confusing it with another unrelated word. > who choose to ignore science and are willing to risk life of others basing on their anecdotal evidence You clearly did not read the rest of my comment other than the first line which you also read incorrectly. And I didn't mention a single anecdotal thing in my comment so not sure what that's all about. So it seems like you are commenting for a specific agenda.

  I don't think we know what word you're implying. If you feel the need to obfuscate one word, and don't feel the need to obfuscate the other, it's obviously clear which one is worse.

Well put. But I wouldn't waste much more time replying to this person, because they were recently asking HN for advice on how to use software to write a lawsuit they're self-litigating. Fifty bucks says it's some "MUH FREEDUHM" anti-mask/vaccine requirement lawsuit. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28440576 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28440576 You're not changing their mind on something like this.

  Am I back on Reddit? Such ivory tower elitism is what's wrong with intellectual authoritarians. 80% of litigants in my country are self-represented. You are showing elitism towards them. Also if you read that post you dug up carefully, I wasn't asking for "how to use software to write a lawsuit". I was asking what alternatives to Google Docs and Word do lawyers use. Those are 2 very different things. And you are agreeing with the person who clearly incorrectly thought of the wrong word even though I said "4 letter word". So you are okay with misinformation for your agenda. Nuance and facts are clearly not an expertise as you missed in my original comment.
