Nothing in my comment was a personal attack, only a reflection of GP's own behaviour. Go ahead and ban the account if calling out these comments as written is unwelcome. But beware the behaviour you welcome by leading it unchallenged.
- dang 1y agoI don't want to ban you! I hope to persuade you to stop using personally pejorative language in your HN comments, which you've unfortunately been doing a lot of. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44089951 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44089951 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44089808 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44089808 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44088236 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44088236 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44088105 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44088105 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44040448 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44040448 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44040666 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44040666 If you don't like the phrase "personal attack" we can call it something else, but the point is you can't treat other commenters this way on HN, regardless of how wrong anyone is or you feel they are.
- closewith 1y agoIf those comments are the problem rather than the messages to which they're responding, then ban me. But again, beware the discourse you welcome, because bad ideas deserve to be challenged.
- dang 1y agoI think you're probably overestimating the provocation in other people's comments and underestimating the provocation in your own. This is something nearly everyone does. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20%2210x%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
