"Second: Criticism of said corporate exploitation of community work is the actual entitled behaviour. Oh, it's also abusive."
No. You are being abusive when you throw out insults to a commenter who argues something you disagree with - please don't try and obfuscate what you were doing, and check the HN guidelines before commenting further, as you are repeating the hostile and condescending tone and should know better.
- acdha 4y agoLooking at this thread, I don't think you have much room to call someone else out for being condescending. I think it'd be useful for you to slow down and write a more considered position, taking time to address the valid concerns others have raised.
- mellosouls 4y agoThere are definitely valid concerns and counter arguments; they will be more powerful and persuasive when presented on their own merits rather than with the assumption and accusation the poster they are responding to is unethical, stupid or commenting in bad faith. I think I've been polite in response. However, as I started the thread with a comment that I guess was more provocative (and perhaps more personally felt by others here) than I intended, I'll accept your criticism and bow out.
