Your comment unfortunately captures possibly the best summary of the current dominant HN culture I have seen.
And yet, I get the feeling just by being straight about it, you also come close to breaking some HN guidelines about not insinuating bad intentions, etc… I do think you have done it in a way that is pretty reasonable though, so hopefully it's not a problem.
Sure wish it was not this way. One, I wish it wasn't all about "I am very smart" and two, I also wish we could talk about this stuff without risking being reprimanded.
- what_ever 5y ago> you also come close to breaking some HN guidelines about not insinuating bad intentions To be clear, I don't think the posters have bad intentions or in other words making such comments intentionally. It's just how any community evolves over the time if conscious efforts to curtail discussions heading in such directions are not made.
