Sure I'll try to do better, I'm sorry. Would you apply the same rules to people escalating, calling me names, being snarky, etc in the same thread?

- dang 4y agoAppreciated! Yes, if that's what they were doing, but I'd have to see specific links. (For example I don't think https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366985 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366985 broke the site guidelines although it wasn't entirely un-edgy either.)
- throwawaylinux 4y agoI don't have a problem with the comment you linked. But this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366133 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366133 kicked off the snark with the first sentence, and quickly escalated to namecalling, calling me a liar a few comments later. So yes I should have just ignored them or kept the higher ground, but sometimes that kind of trolling sucks me in.
- dang 4y agoI don't think the first sentence of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366133 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366133 was snarky. Interpretations differ, of course, and often by quite a bit when someone is speaking to you personally, but FWIW that sounds rather neutral to my ear.
