BoorishBear, please stop with the aggressive, condescending tone. You seem to have some productive counterarguments but they're getting lost in your disrespectful language.

- kaycebasques 3y agoI don't have a feature to flag your comments and your profile does not point to a way for me to message you privately so this was my only option to call you out What you call "tone policing" I call "violating numerous HN guidelines": > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. > When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. > Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. > Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work.

- kaycebasques 3y ago> It's not your job to call out anyone on HN You may not personally agree with it, but there's nothing in the HN guidelines or comments from mods saying that I can't do it > it adds precious little to the conversation The conversations would have ended a long time ago if you're vitriolic tone was considered acceptable and normal See dang's response to your comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38493663 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38493663
