- cess11 3y agoNot sure what you're getting at. Are you a moderator?
- nindalf 3y agoI'm getting at the fact that you're not following the rules of this forum. I don't need to be a moderator to point out the obvious. > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. > Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Your comment was an unkind, snarky, sneering swipe. Do better. If you feel that I'm mistaken and you've contributed something valuable to the community with your previous comment, feel free to ask Daniel at hn@ycombinator.com. If he says your comment is fine, its fine.
- cess11 3y agoI disagree with your assessment. Maybe you could flag the comment instead of derailing the thread?
- Cruncharoo 3y agoMy assessment is that your comment derailed it.
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoHave to agree with cess11. Saying this is is so against guidelines to warrant being flagged is just an ultra pedantic view of the guidelines. Maybe it is just a problem with different peoples use of language. "You seem very protective of banks. Have they been particularly nice to you? "
- dang 3y agoIt's not pedantic. A comment like "You seem very protective of banks. Have they been particularly nice to you?" crosses the line into both snark and personal attack, which are against the site guidelines. The comment was therefore correctly flagged. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
