Seems to be more a reflection of the author's personality than hacker news being toxic.

  Please let's not get personal in that way.

    They specifically talk about their personality in the article (paragraph 5 outlines their attitude they are trying to get away from but still express, paragraph 6 talks about them falling back into this attitude due to seeing it expressed in the comments). I stand by my statement. They can't dissociate analytical skepticism from the nice little lies and omissions of everyday life, so that makes hacker news toxic for them, it does not make hacker news toxic per se. I did not make it personal, they did.

      Even if they made it personal, it's important that we not make it personal.
