- tomhow 1y ago> You are a pawn Don't comment like this on HN. Please observe the guidelines, especially these ones: 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. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- firesteelrain 1y agoLove how you comment back to me and not to his comment “ You're just a pawn for billionaires” Your bias is showing I have been following the guidelines. Your comment is misplaced on the wrong person.
- tomhow 1y agoWe're routinely characterized as taking orders from billionaires, so, it's a change to be accused of that kind of bias. Fair enough to point out that the parent comment initiated it, though. I hadn't seen it (that's almost always what's happened when we're accused of bias in a subthread) but I've replied to them now. Do please have a re-read of the guidelines though. We want a variety of points of view to be represented here and we want HN to be a good place for discussing difficult topics, but that can only happen if people make more effort to keep to the guidelines for inherently-controversial topics like this.
- firesteelrain 1y agoThanks

- tomhow 1y ago> You're just a pawn for billionaires I called out the other commenter for their reply to you but they were right to point out that you initiated the "pawn" slur. Please don't comment like this on HN. It's against the guidelines and takes discussions away from being substantive. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- tomhow 1y agoThis isn’t a game or a battle. We’re just trying to have respectful conversations.
- firesteelrain 1y agoI know I just expect the standard to be applied equally. It’s not.
