Dang, this is like the 4th time you’ve done this on something that the reading of the thread later shows did not go in that direction.
Seriously, what do you expect me to do?
If my behavior was actually a problem, those threads would have ended up being actually a problem - but near as I can tell, they aren’t. And this it out of what, 5k+ comments?
The only way I can think of to avoid this situation is to be so bland that there is literally zero signal being added.
- dang 1y agoI expect you to stop taking HN threads on generic flamewar tangents and stick to the site guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45516877 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45516877 is an example of the thread going in a flamewar direction, and while that user shouldn't be breaking the site guidelines either, your account is the primary one responsible. If most other users didn't respond by breaking the guidelines, that is commendable, but random. In the general case, they certainly would. This means that the way you were posting was flamebait.
- lazide 1y agoTell you what dang. If tomorrow you still really believe this is true, please do ban my account. It would be healthier for me to be spending more time with the real people in my life anyway - like the multiple Palestinian friends and co-workers who are refugees from Gaza. Instead of arguing with people on the internet. And no, I’m not joking.
