Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Please don't fulminate.
Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
Please don't post shallow dismissals...
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

- tomhow 1y agoSure, but we need you, like everyone here, to observe the guidelines, and take care to express your thoughts with kindness and sensitivity. We know sometimes it's hard to know how your words end up coming across to others, but in this case the comment crossed into the kind of territory we're trying to avoid on HN.
