If you feel that I have wasted your time or insulted your person or character, that was not my intention or desire, but I understand that my words may have been interpreted that way. I may be wrong on points of fact through any or no reason, but not intentionally. If you feel that I called you names because I used the word “concern troll,” that is just what the behavior is called in that context, and does not reflect my views on you as a person. I quite like you generally from what I have read of your output, even if I don’t agree with something. I don’t view disagreement about the guidelines with you as being a personal grievance, so I’m not sure why you feel attacked if I critique HN, but I’ll leave my words there. I respect you, though I don’t know you. I believe that reasonable people can disagree, and I aim to be reasonable here by admitting my mistake in understanding the difference between [flagged][dead] and [dead]. I won’t ask for an apology but I think from context it’s clear that we both feel we’re owed one. You got yours, and if you don’t need it or want it, that’s okay too. If you aren’t satisfied with it, I’m sure I’ll owe you a better one eventually, and I’ll give you that one for the same price as the last. Are you able to identify anything you might have done differently in this thread? I know I am. This might feel like snark, but I am really trying to approach this from a place of love for the community you have helped build, perhaps more than any other person. But when you treat me badly, it hurts, and I don’t know if you care or even perceive me at all. Am I just a “wall of text” to you? I’m a real person, you know, trying to have a genuine interaction with people who care to hear it, not comply with HN guidelines or else.
