This is not an acceptable way to speak here. When you find yourself adding emotional content including insults before your statements take a breath and delete everything but the factual statements. For example you could have simply said
"If you click the link, you will find out exactly how the dataset was gathered"
It would have added the same value without degrading the conversation or being rude.
Thank you.
- prvit 4y agoCome on, it’s clear that kazinator is deliberately trolling by pretending to be stupid. Nothing wrong with calling them out on that.
- michaelmrose 4y agoThat is not clear at all. They might simply disagree with the methodology and that is a legit topic to discuss. More importantly if you actually think he is trolling the best route to go is to disengage and downvote. This doesn't distract from the discussion or degrade the discussion into name calling. Also hacker news rules are to respond to the most charitable interpretation of the users point. Assume they are disagreeing in good faith and engage with the topic or disengage and down vote if you feel the users contribution is negative.
- prvit 4y ago> They might simply disagree with the methodology and that is a legit topic to discuss Sure, but ignoring a clear explanation of the methodology isn’t. > Also hacker news rules are to respond to the most charitable interpretation of the users point The most charitable interpretation is indeed that he’s trolling and not stupid.
