There's a decent point you're making that's getting lost because you're choosing to use the inflammatory language. Delete your first sentence, and the last two sentences, and the same point is there and more likely to be taken.
- jgwil2 4y agoI agree with you and it's unfortunate that you're being downvoted simply for trying to lower the temperature of the discussion.
- cdrini 4y agoJust as a note that when the parent comment was posted, the comment section looked very different. It was almost all vitriol. It was genuinely discouraging and disheartening to read, and ugly was the correct adjective. I really resonated seeing this comment, and was pleased to then see it and similar comments basically within minutes jump to the very top. Ie suggesting that others resonated with it as well. The comments being made now are significantly lower temperature, and I think this comment is partly responsible for that de-escalation. Although I do agree that absent that context it comes off as inflammatory--it's a shame that there's no way to see that context in online comment threads like HN!
- ragingredbull 4y agoWith all due respect, I feel there is a time and place for some emotion to come through. The tone policing and courtesy concern isn’t well warranted here, even if well intentioned. We’re not the computers we program.
- fartcannon 4y agoSuggesting he's tone policing the original posters patronizing is kinda pointless, isn't it?
