Yelling or cussing doesn't make you 14. I like cussing and think that there should be more of it in technical literature.

Agreed. The idea that words can bring curses or displease some fictional deity is a dated trope with no place in modern society. Which means the only reason left is that it displeases certain people to hear them... but fuck those folks for trying to impinge on freedom of speech

  This is not about freedom of speech. I explicitly stated it was not a puritan thing. Fuck your strawman, if you want. See? That did very little in terms of argumentation. Now it was about using insults instead of proper arguments and pretending the mere use was funny. Which isn't. Also, it's funny how you "insult" in generic third person because if you insult me directly you might get banned. Hey, feel free to insult me directly. I won't care. You just won't necessarily have a good argument because of it and you might also get your comment deleted, but let's see if you're as "brave" to argue with the would be censors then.

You may also like writing in 1337speak. That's not an actual argument for it being an effective mechanism to convey an argument, which the website presumably tries to. Finding an insult funny just because it's an insult is definitely childish, as I've said before and you haven't tried to address, it relates to rebelry against some authority, which just isn't there in this case. I won't be offended by the insult, but using in the way the website in question does is just superfluous content and can effectively serve as an mechanism to hide less than solid points.

  Your response is definitely childish. Not in the immature sense but an underdeveloped sense of historical social transformation.

    You've said nothing and basically held a mirror that says "no u". How about you actually try?

      It is now apparent that you are an actual child. Have a good one

        An actual child that signed up to HN in 2013 when they were 1 or something and has worked on the industry for a while, huh? Running away with a false accusation and a dishonest "good wish" is just sad.
