It's more like passive-aggresive here. It's also harder to tell signal from noise if someone has to write a 500-word essay instead of saying "you're an idiot".

- 41amxn41 4y agoExactly. It's unnatural, not to mention, boring.
- glass3 4y agoHow could that be improved? Allowing insults to prevent passive aggressiveness doesn't seem right.
- kilgnad 4y agoYeah my post is flagged by the typical myopic HN user. Anyway to answer your question passive aggressiveness should be called out. It should be flagged. You can't talk to people that way anymore than you can insult them directly. What I think should be legal to say is hard statements. Like, "You're wrong." Or "what you said doesn't make sense. " You need these statements to express disagreement and I think spending effort to make it polite just derails the conversation for the sake of being polite. But passive aggressiveness with the intent to refocus the subject of the conversation onto the speaker himself is a deliberate act of malice. That should be flagged.
