- dredmorbius 3y agoIn Comments Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. <https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html> I was curious about the quote: was it in fact legitimate, and when and in what context did it originate. And shared what I found. Otherwise my comment stands for itself. But thanks.
