I want to congratulate you for being the first googler i've seen on HN to not write "opinions are my own" at the start of every, single, top-level comment

- quicklime 4y agoThe comment is a result of the slime mold, so writing "opinions are my own" seems unnecessary :P
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoDon't be a jerk -- Googlers posting in forums like that do this for good reason. All Googlers take mandatory training and among those mandatory training courses are all sorts of notes on how not say things in public which could be construed as reflecting on the company. Making it clear "opinions are my own" is CYA, and a completely reasonable one for people who want to keep their job. (Ref: Used to work at Google. No longer have to cover my ass.)
