If I could never see another passive aggressive response like this again I would die happy.
- deciduously 1y agoYou of course know that "you of course know _____, right" is the preferred HN rebuttal format, right?
- throwawayoldie 1y agoNeck and neck with "Got an example of X?"
- lovich 1y agoActive aggression is looked down upon in this forum
- jklinger410 1y agoHow about no aggression at all.
- lovich 1y agoIf you would like to live passively in all aspects of your life, far be it from me to stop you. I, personally, care about things and are willing to passionately defend them, which is synonymous with aggression
- jklinger410 1y ago> If you would like to live passively in all aspects of your life Nah man, I'm clearly just talking about hacker news comments. Being kind to people on here (and the internet in general) is a sign of good faith, and you are more likely to get your message across. In this instance, maybe just assuming the person doesn't know about this other data, and educating them on that fact. Being passive aggressive, or actively aggressive, on an internet forum is usually pointless. It indicates you're an asshole more than it serves as an indictment of whoever you are replying to, 100% of the time.
