I humbly suggest, get over such vitriol in a opinion & knowledge sharing platform like HN, maybe get some professional help. Just a sincere advice from fellow user It isn't a directed sarcasm. Writing like this isn't okay Quoting guidelines: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work [...]"

Your response is worse than his. You couch it with passive aggressive language but you're just saying he's mentally ill because you don't like his tone.

  > Elon Musk doesn't know you exist and doesn't care what you think about him Sorry. I am trying to engage with everyone here respectfully. I generally feel people who write like this have anger issues or purely dismissive. The later seems true if I read the answer carefully enough. I don't think I have made a personal affront to him to receive one. And the opinion is honest - writing like this unprovoked, is not okay & outside of HN guidelines anyway

    What he said is at least true even if it's not nice sounding. For someone so concerned with HN guidelines you didn't seem to mind launching a personal attack against him. Maybe just downvote someone instead of trying to give them a psychiatric evaluation.

      > For someone so concerned with HN guidelines you didn't seem to mind launching a personal attack against him. I didn't. I never said 'f--koff' or 'you're a idiotic fanboy' or the likes. Commentor sides Musk strongly enough to dismiss a neutral & not-loaded opinion sufficiently with strongly worded tirade. I told 'writing like this isn't okay' on HN & you could possibly need help with a full disclaimer I am not being sarcastic. And you're faulting me? Edit: What he said is at least true even if it's not nice sounding Going strictly by company laws, what Musk is doing is absolutely wrong - starting with SEC episode to the latest dropping of acquisition after purchase agreement. It doesn't matter if Elon isn't my tea-time buddy. By the same yardstick everyone should stop commenting on HN because 99% of the things posted on forums aren't exactly about our work life although we somewhat/vaguely know it. Please let us not engage in this fault finding & keep discussion civil and interesting. Quoting guidelines: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something"

        Oh come on. You know what you did. Just accept that you were both in the wrong instead of providing these disingenuous defenses. Also I was remarking on the bit you quoted to me which should have been obvious.

To me, this sounds like an attempt to stop the person from sharing their opinion. Not much better than the original comment.

  > Elon Musk doesn't know you exist and doesn't care what you think about him If that doesn't come across unprovoked offensive, what else is. What have I written in OP to deserve such a scathing response. Why can't we keep discussion polite?

    when the truth hurts it sounds scathing.

      For the record, you have not spoken anything that was any way informative to the current legal dispute of Twitter vs. Musk. Why are you trying to be unnecessarily confrontational?

>I humbly suggest, get over such vitriol you're reading vitriol where I have none. It was a statement of fact followed by a statement of opinion. There was no vitriol involved except what you're projecting into it. >maybe get some professional help. Maybe now is a time to take a moment of deep self reflection and think how humbly you might suggest something, and who has vitriol >Quoting guidelines applies directly to your attempt to say that anyone who disagrees needs mental health. This should raise some deep questions of self reflection in you, rather than thinking that everyone else is shallow while your post is not. There was nothing shallow about my post that your post is not equally if not more shallow.

  If this wasn't vitriol, it definitely lacks much common courtesy afforded to other users here. I did not start this. And I am not sure how you can consider your initial post 'just fine'. As I said elsewhere, I am here to respectfully engage and learn something. Engaging with this post with you doesn't give me any new insight - neither on Twitter nor on common etiquettes.

  hi, totally different person here, I also read vitriol in your post, which is not mutually exclusive with sharing facts or opinions given the multiple confirmations of this, it's possible that you don't realize the vitriol in your post, or mischaracterize it as not vitriol, or just are unwilling to admit to it to others or yourself before you respond to this post, please ask yourself if you've internalized the critical feedback you've recieved from multiple users, and are not going to simply act defensive again
