I copied and pasted it because I thought it was relevant. How is it nonsense? I explained why I thought this parody was poorly done and irrelevant.

  Hey, there's no reason to downmod him. He's just looking for clarification as to why cross-posting is bad. And I personally feel that it's not; just because a comment was posted on Reddit doesn't mean the comment is bad. ... and a comment such as "you cross-posted from Reddit! go away! we don't serve your kind here!" isn't worth +12 karma.

His comment is relevant to the topic. Yours is an attempt at public shaming. If your desire is to see the level of discussion here not sink to the level of Reddit, I suggest you think very seriously about which of them is the greater foul, and act accordingly.

  Yes. There's nothing wrong with posting the same point on two sites, if you use two sites. And while this comment is excessively long, it's not nonsense.

    Perhaps I'm alone in finding a 1,448 word dissection of comedy rather absurd.

      On Reddit, it was after somebody said something like "You don't understand the jokes." I wanted to make a comment similar to the one I did there on HN, but I had a longer version quickly on hand, so I looked over it, rewrote a bit of it, and posted it as a comment. I didn't expect controversy.

        And I had a bit of a "Someone is wrong on the Internet." moment followed by a lapse of judgment. see: http://xkcd.com/386/ http://xkcd.com/386/ So, sorry HN/unalone, next time I'll just be quiet.

        No! Not at all. You did what you thought was right.

        Hitler also did what he thought was right. I have always wanted to Godwin a thread :D
