There is no discussion. What are you even supposed to "discuss" on the comment that started this thread? This isn't someone engaging in a bit of an aggressive way, it's merely an expression of negativity and nothing else. You don't see me crapping up every TypeScript or PHP thread with that, and when I do it's 1) on-topic, and 2) a criticism that has more substance than "bruh-huh, TypeScript bad". Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37765713 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37765713 – this is something you can agree or disagree with and have a serious conversation about. "Go sux, just use .NET" ... not so much. Especially when that same discussion recurs on every damn thread because this user has posted dozens of those types of comments. It gets very tedious very quickly. And muting people isn't really a solution; any new user who hasn't built up a "block list" will just see a community of assholes, so it's not really a substitute. Even with blocklist features, there needs to be a baseline of acceptable behaviour.
