No, that's the blind and uninquisitive reply.
My comments very often receive mixed reviews but that is what healthy debate engenders. It is what the guidelines for HN explicitly intend to produce.
You want a site to provide you with a furtherance of your own thought. Yet another place to tell you that you're right, by golly, and smart too!
Your echochamber can never be large enough until the bounds exceed the space available for any critical thought at all.
- evgen 4y agoIt takes a huge amount of arrogance for a newcomer to waltz in and declare that a site's norms and standards are merely reflective surfaces used to build an imagined echo chamber. I frequently disagree with these same norms and bump up against them as well, I just don't whine about it. Few things reveal the weaknesses of your arguments more than complaining that the tools to enforce these norms are somehow unfair or indicative of anything other than the fact that (apparently) most people have better things to do than engage with arguments which they feel are beneath them.
- upsidesinclude 4y agoI've made fairly concise statements about recourse in the moderation on HN. I've posted a concise question regarding the guidelines set by the venue. You have waxxed on... arrogance, newcomer, waltz-in, whine, weakness, beneath them... So, sure. I'm the problem Edit: Oh God, you're from FB security...
