Sometimes better to not assume the worst of people by default. Very easy to not know where something comes from, misremember or come up with something in parallel.
- ternaryoperator 1y agoI'm not sure what you're referring to. HN is a site where article pro's and con's are discussed. The comment was respectful and I believe informative. At no time was anything like the "worst of people" anywhere on the radar.

- ternaryoperator 1y ago"It's a shame" is an expression of mild disappointment or regret. It makes no statement even by implication about intent.
