2. I don't really mind poking fun at projects, but poking fun at people, especially when they're probably feeling shitty about things, in a place that they're likely to read it, just seems nasty to me and exactly the sort of thing that doesn't belong on HN.
- amirmc 14y agoThe account you link to was created 21 days ago and has 3 karma. Granted, anyone can read without needing an account but it doesn't really lend weight to what (I think) you're trying to point out. Also, the post you've taken issue with is simply a parody (or satire). There very little in there that seems like a personal attack (at least to me).
- raganwald 14y agoI wasn't speaking to whether he is an HN reader but rather to whether a particular comment is an uncivil reply to another Hn reader. As in the difference between "This post shows that raganwald is an ass" and "Raganwald, you are an ass."
