This is your second comment since last year. Out of everything on HN, what made you want to comment on this? And to call it "pathetic" out of all things?
I don't think it's pathetic. I think it's a truth that is considered impolite to discuss.
I'm not even complaining about it. I'm just noting it.
- nanna 4y ago> This is your second comment since last year. What an incredibly strange premise for an argument.
- scruple 4y agoWhat argument? I don't see an argument, I see a genuine question made in earnest.
- hsn915 4y agoMy intention was to point out that my comment probably enraged that person. Now, why where they enraged by it? I wasn't being inflammatory in tone, nor was I being antagonistic. So what would it be? As far as I can tell, people are enraged when they see something they don't like to be pointed out, pointed out. An "uncomfortable truth" so to speak. So being enraged and then commenting with "how pathetic" probably indicates that the person deep down understands that it's true.
