These are always the most cartoonish viewpoints. How dare you have an opinion! This is the internet! SapporoChris is going to require journal published studies

  Having been a member of HN for 7 years, you should be well aware that we deal in facts and data here, and such things require evidence. If you want to spend your time with those who pull fiction out of thin air and present it as gospel, I would suggest you check out Reddit. It might be more your speed.

    > Having been a member of HN for 7 years, you should be well aware that we deal in facts and data here, Could you start with the "facts and data" of where it is specified that there is requirement for "facts and data"? Having been a member here for 7 years, I can assure you that most posts do not contain "facts and data" and there is no requirement or implication of a requirement to post with "facts and data". In fact, a vast majority of everything written here is completely subjective and unsubstantiated. See. I'm not going to prove that with any facts or data at all. I'm just going to assert it. Ironically, you have a variation on breaking one of the actual written post guidelines in this very post: > Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
