"Silly" modifies "way," meaning the line of argumentation, not the speaker. Are you changing the guidelines to prohibit criticism of argument?
- dang 5y agoThe relevant guideline covers this case clearly and hasn't changed in over a decade: "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
