I think I'll just wait for you to give the substantive reply you have in mind.
Accounts being jerks get less leeway from me than people being respectful and/or standing behind their words.
- wpietri 4y agoYou'll be waiting quite awhile. If there's anything HN has taught me, it's the meaning of "pearls before swine". And the futility in providing free labor for people who seem to think they're entitled to it.
- SilasX 4y agoIt's a discussion forum, amigo. You're supposed to share your insights with those who haven't yet achieved them. If you're not comfortable doing that, you can just not post instead of posting merely to whine and insult. Bookmarking for later.
- wpietri 4y agoI share with people who seem like they'll benefit from it. That includes people who have done at least a little work to understanding what's going on. It definitely doesn't include HN's legion of querulous jerks who mainly look for nitpicks, gotchas, and other opportunities to feel smart, even when that comes at the expense of the good discussion this place is nominally for. You get to influence which group people see you as part of.
