I'm not going to downvote you, I'll just correct your logic.Your parent is someone who was doing what you're doing now: calling people out on HN etiquette. The OP making fun of the tea party is the true culprit here.
- cookiecaper 15y agoI disagree. OP mentioned Tea Party ill-advisedly. Tea Partier got upset and felt like he had to defend the Tea Party before saying not to bring political arguments up on HN. If you don't want to see political arguments on HN, don't participate in them.
- protomyth 15y agoI said "I really wish people would keep politics out of a non-political discussion especially in a way that characterizes people unfairly" which is not the same as "saying not to bring political arguments up on HN". It irked me someone would take a cheap shot in a discussion about rightful compensation. Particularly when we are talking about a company not honoring the spirit of a contract with a worker then basically mischaracterizing a group's motives to put them in the same category when they are among the antithesis of that position.
