Sorry, let me restate my original post then: I ASSUME that you're completely wrong about Safe Browsing and have no idea what you're talking about. I ASSUME you

Sorry, let me restate my original post then: I ASSUME that you're completely wrong about Safe Browsing and have no idea what you're talking about. I ASSUME you're intentionally posting misinformation on the internet. I ASSUME you're as evil as Adolf Hitler. If you prove that what I ASSUMED is demonstrably false, I'll just fall back on saying it's an assumption so that makes being wrong completely ok (and it means that you are misrepresenting me when you call that out)!

Ah man... I mean, at no time did I indicate or suggest how Safe Browsing works. What I communicated to the world is that I am making a totally subjective judgement of a feature, perhaps totally ignorantly, without any suggestion of correlation with reality. For some reason, you missed this subtlety of me saying "I assume [thing does blah]". I'm not out here trying to convince anyone that Safe Browsing does bad things. I pretty clearly said I, myself, in my own head, made a subjective decision about the feature. That's all I said! Come back to this thread in a day or month or year and realize I was pretty forthright/honest and communicating in good faith the entire time.

  Please stop misrepresenting what I said and reacting vocally as a result of your misunderstanding. I didn't assert that you were wrong. I _assume_ you have no idea what you're talking about. I would appreciate if you stop acting like I was asserting something when I clearly was ASSUMING it, I even put ASSUME in all caps in my comment to make it clear.

    These words you posted are a direct assertion: "when someone posts such blatantly false information", in regards to my comment. I didn't post false information, thus you misrepresented what I said. Please spend more time understanding the words people write before you respond to them in an inflammatory manner.

      I clearly restated my original post here in a way that contains only assumptions and not assertions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33528294 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33528294 - so I don't know why you're mad at me. I can't edit my original post anymore, but just replace it in your mind with my edited version. Also, please spend more time understanding the words people write before you respond to them in an inflammatory manner.
