She said "toxic" because she's talking about poison. She basically said: "I myself am anti-crypto. But I don't think that we anti-crypto people should be poisonous in our interaction with pro-crypto people."
I'd like to say more, but HN has a clear "Anti-Didn't-RTFA Toxicity" policy.
- tarkin2 5y agoFraming conversations and discussions and disagreements as poison is troubling.
- gwd 5y agoYou're seriously making stuff up now. There are ways of expressing disagreement which are toxic, and there are ways of expressing disagreement which are not toxic. She has observed is that many anti-crypto people have been expressing their disagreement in toxic ways, and feeling justified in doing so. She is discouraging the first while encouraging the second. If you'd spent any effort trying to understand what she or I were saying, you'd know that. It seems rather that you'd rather fight against imaginary arguments from your own head, which is far more troubling.
