Meh.
I'll always be friendly and kind to people in real life. But I come to HN for acerbic debate about pedantic topics with really smart people that have highly tuned bullshit detectors.

- sockaddr 5y agoExactly. I use HN as one of my BS detector calibration tools and thus crave its critical nature. I think the OP needs to learn to filter out the types of dismissive critical comments that sit that the top because they got there early and are "just right enough" to pass as authoritative judgement that buries all of the better answers that trickle in later. Once they learn to tune those out, their time on HN will be a lot better. Do we have a word for that type of post?
