Do you have proof that he is a sociopath?

- CaptainFever 2y agoSure, thanks.
- xtracto 2y agoI hate these type of exchanges that are happening more and more in HN. Passive aggressive comments and replies from both sides of an argument. The "take comments meanings at their best value " keeps being eroded. And comments sections for these type of stories get full of them. There's no value in GP asking "do you have proof that X goes twice a day to the toilet?" ... and of course the reply is as empty as the question. The level of discourse is getting lower and lower.
- binary_slinger 2y agoAs HN becomes more popular this will become more prevalent. The same thing happened to Reddit over the past 14 years.

- binary_slinger 2y agoMy comment is a bit more nuanced than your thinking. The barrier to entry to HN is anyone with an internet connection and motivation to create an account with absolutely no verification. That’s quite the low bar and just invites bad behavior. In many old forum days you had to be invited. Case in point- lobste.rs is invite only.
- CaptainFever 2y agoYeah, it was bad conduct of me. I apologise, and I'll try to just flag and move on in the future instead.
