I wasn't really talking about what you said, but I guess this deserves a response, even if "do you hate fun?" is frankly pretty weak. I also write, but I don't talk about it very often, because it turns out most people aren't super excited to see an involved and wholly unrelated conversation interrupted with a more or less totally off topic plot idea someone happened to have. Unless you're actually at a workshop, that's what notebooks are for. If you don't have one, get one.

> see an involved and wholly unrelated conversation interrupted Except the exact opposite happened. I started a thread on this post. It went where it went until you interrupted it with mr serious response.

  In response to some comments from someone else who seemed really anxious to be able to argue, on no sound or sensible basis whatsoever, that the whole thing's absurdly overblown and no one should be taking it seriously as the danger to life and health that it was, which is something I've seen a frankly bewildering number of people on HN this week put effort into doing. I wasn't really replying to your comment at the head of the subthread I was replying to. But, fair: if I'd considered the context a bit more thoroughly, I'd have picked some other metaphor than a movie plot for the unrelated kind of confabulation I was complaining about.
