Or how about if you don't think that this thread is contributing anything to what you think HN should be, you stop yelling at everyone posting in it and go back to "building things"? We get it, you don't like this thread. You don't need to respond to every comment with a pedantic "fuck you, shut up, and get off my lawn, I have a billion comment karma because people upvote snark so now I'm going to act like a dick " comment of your own.

No. Tried that. Now trying the other way. These threads are dragging HN down, and I've decided to be noisier about it. My feeling is that the same name recognition influence that gets most of my comments modded up 100-200% more than they're actually worth is going to get my -4 comments read even though they're light grey. We'll see!
