I’m honestly impressed at just 4 words can go against so many HN commenting guidelines. Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit

I’m honestly impressed at just 4 words can go against so many HN commenting guidelines. 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. Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity.
