harangue. / (həˈræŋ) / verb. to address (a person or crowd) in an angry, vehement, or forcefully persuasive way. I don't see how this applies, especially since if anything it is other people who are engaged in persuasion, and experiencing anger or other negative emotions. I am sincere in that I believe that truth matters, and should at least be taken into consideration. Seriously, what is the big issue with disagreeing with the crowd, without applying speculative subjective framing to the situation?

I don't see how this applies Yes, hence the feedback. it is other people You've been here plenty long to know it's not how HN works, everyone is responsible for their own commentary. I am sincere in that I believe that truth matters, and should at least be taken into consideration. I'm sure most people share that sincere belief, it's just that few enjoy, well, being harangued. Seriously, what is the big issue with disagreeing with the crowd, without applying speculative subjective framing to the situation? "I don't understand what I'm supposedly doing wrong" is conversation. The above is haranguey, especially since no one is asking you to eschew speculative or subjective framing.

    Do you write software for a living, or at least write scripts, deal with complexity, ambiguity, and humans? I think both the moderator and I are trying to explain to you that you can't talk to people on HN like this because because it's not what the forum is for. That's all.

      If all comments that technically violated one or more guidelines, objectively or subjectively, there wouldn't be much content left here. Luckily, we have heuristics and culture (containing norms such as do not acknowledge the existence of heuristics, at certain times) to smooth over such complexities, making everything appear logical.

        That doesn't doesn't have much to do with your comments many of which violate the guidelines egregiously and repeatedly.

        This is an interesting claim in the context of the content of the comment it is replying to. ;)
