dang, I think perhaps a rule should be added for users to not engage in "guilt by association", e.g. tptacek elsewhere made a comment that they flag posts simply because they're afraid there will be low quality comments in them, rather than discerning. Good idea, bad idea, maybe idea?

- loceng 2y agoCan you state your point along with sharing that link please? I can't read minds - and I lean away from making assumptions.
- tptacek 2y agoIt answers your question, which has come up many times before, directly. If you feel otherwise, email hn@ycombinator.com --- "@dang" (or equivalents) isn't a thing here, even in replies.
- loceng 2y agodang has that username because it's a rarely used word. And no, it doesn't answer my question - you seem to make assumptions a lot that people should be able to interpret things exactly how you expect them to; and you have the polar opposite behaviour as well of assuming what others mean when you're potentially wrongly interpreting. It's quite fascinating - and you'll assume I'm just wrong without caring to put effort into seeing if I have a valid point or not that could lead to growth.
