Please, I'm begging you not to do this. HN is the only platform on the internet I still engage with because it's one of the few places where people generally act like people (whether the emotions are positive or negative), as opposed to the broader internet, where the smirking tone of provocation is always the first priority.
- jjulius 2y agoI've already said I've just been trying to be polite in my conversations. There's no "smirking tone of provocation" intended, and the smilies are intended to be taken at face value - genuine smiles, not sarcastic or superior smirks. I've told you a few times now that I'm attempting to be polite as I converse in good faith. I don't know how else to make that point again, nor why you continue to insist I'm being provocative. I wished you a nice day because I could feel that we were already at that impasse.
