You didn't offer a take on what the author said, as evidenced by the fact that the author made zero claims of grandeur or even goodness, and the entire premise of the article wasn't the ideas themselves, but to encourage other people to explore and share their old ideas whether they're good or not.
So in this case, RTFA becomes really important and not some "silly chant." Because instead of reacting to what they actually wrote, you've instead concocted a story about this person in your head, and then attempted to belittle them for it.
I challenge you to quote any line from the article where the author says anything remotely "full of themselves" or "crass." You won't be able to do it, because it doesn't exist, and you're just being shamefully inflammatory for no reason.
- kanonieer 4y agoStill not convinced, sorry. If you're a friend of the author, tell him that's the way he came across to me. My take does not define him or present the absolute truth on his presence, so you can take a deep breath. :)
- bryans 4y agoI simply asked you to copy and paste a single sentence to act as an example representative of your "take," but instead, you're deflecting and acting even more inflammatory. The simple fact is that you didn't read the article, and instead made derogatory comments about someone based on things they didn't say, and that has no place anywhere, much less HN.
