"If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen" - Harry S. Truman
There is nothing wrong with my comment. I am of the opinion that you wasted dang's time, especially since recently we have all been praising him for his very hard work running this site, for which you seem entirely ungrateful for. Where did you get the idea that the world has to agree with your opinions?
- lapcat 4y agoThis is again a very uncharitable reading of my comment. I urge you to read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html again. To clarify: 1) There is a literally a "Contact" mailto: link at the bottom of this page, so I don't know why one has to be "self-important" to contact the moderator. 2) The phrase "at some length" was meant to imply something less than "at length". It was a serious conversation, but I don't recall it continuing particularly long. [EDIT: Searching my email archive, I found that the thread was only a few emails, so "at some length" may itself be a bit of an exaggeration.] 3) I appreciate that dang replied, but that doesn't mean we came to an agreement on the matter. Where did you get the idea that I had to agree with dang's opinions? In any case, I don't see how I "wasted" his time at all, when he voluntarily replied and talked with me about an ongoing HN issue. Dang is responsible for his own choices and for managing his own time.
