I'm responding to the only form of your argument here.
- dang 3y agoCan you please avoid flamewars and tit-for-tat spats like this one, when posting on HN? It's definitely not what the site is for, and it makes boring reading. One sign that a thread is leaving the rails is when people start arguing about their argument, as you guys did here and here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40280772 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40280772 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40279988 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40279988 If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
- aspenmayer 3y ago> One sign that a thread is leaving the rails is when people start arguing about their argument I was attempting to reformulate/rephrase my discussion to avoid low-effort and groundless dismissal of my good faith points. I was all but asking them why they believe the way they do and what they believe, to no avail. I was turning their own words against them in order to hold a mirror up to the absurdity of carrying on like they do when all else failed. Thanks for the points all the same, including my debate partner, after all this, and also to dang, naturally.
