If you want to end a comment with "I'm not going to engage with you further," better to not make that post.
Getting the last say in an argument by fiat isn't healthy.
Don't want others opinions? Don't offer your own.
- hnbad 3y agoI don't have to engage with every single person on HN to any extent just because I post on HN. I can also decide to engage with a post without having to commit to engaging with everything else that posters wants to add. I think it provides useful context if I clarify in advance WHY a follow-up might not receive a reply from me. In fact, most discussions on HN aren't back-and-forths between two people and arguably benefit from that.
