From the guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. I certainly understand not liking Rogan, but your comments aren't really on point. Idiot? Moron? Lacking personality? "always tried to copy the behavior of his guests and lacked own viewpoint"? These do not appear to be the observations of someone who's actually watched the show.

I appreciate your comment and indeed two of three statements (idiot and moron) lacked opinion wording and were stated as a facts. I have edited my comment in a way that doesn't invalidate yours. But you're not right regarding me not watching "the show". I've seen the interview with Musk in which Musk said "this stuff doesn't work on me" while pretending to inhale smoke from a pot joint. I've seen Dan Aykroyd interview which was basically Dan Aykroyd advertising his skull-bottled vodka. I've seen dr. Rhonda Patrick episode, dr. David Sinclair episode and maybe 10 to 15 more episodes. I'm not ashamed to admit that I went through a very brief "this guy is fucking cool!" phase but after really getting to hear what he's got to say, my opinion of him is that he's a behavioral copycat and a moron.

a) The guidelines are meant to govern discourse between people in this community. b) If I want to call Joe Rogan an idiot because I find his views and lack of intellectual rigour to be commensurate with that of someone who is ignorant and reckless then not sure what the issue is. He is a public figure after all.
