I disagree, it's not silly. I love it when these things are specified, they help give me context and sometimes are a decider whether I start reading at all. HN

I disagree, it's not silly. I love it when these things are specified, they help give me context and sometimes are a decider whether I start reading at all. HN is too broad a forum nowadays and apparently you can't make everyone feel welcome. Which is fine but I'll not accept "silly" or "could not care less" labels. They are subjective and attempting to present them as facts is not productive.
