And I'm saying the place to have that fight is with the putative Aboriginals and not here on HN where everyone is just talking about the science.
I mean, I get it. People are mean. People are unreasonable. Lots of good discussion can't happen because people are mean and unreasonable. But you're not making things better by assuming bad faith and throwing shade at everyone else preemptively. That's just being mean and unreasonable.

- riatin 4y agoSuggest you look at most popular mastheads in Australia, in particular the state funded broadcaster to see the phenomenon play out in reality.
- Zurrrrr 4y agoNo reason to say that though. The person you replied to was saying it is a shame it is an emotionally charged discussion and he is right. That one particular discussion on HN might not be emotionally charged doesn't negate his point. Were you just pretending not to understand?
- s1artibartfast 4y agoThe best way to get an emotionally charged discussion on Hacker News is to put a caveat that it's unfortunate that a topic is emotionally charged. It's a lightning rod and discussion bridge for people who just want debate controversial issues. I certainly have been on both sides of it.
