Normally I'd never weigh in on a discussion like this but I'll make an exception since you post a lot here and I think you need a bit of friendly advice. I'm one of the oldtimers here, so I've seen how HN has progressed over the years, I also believe My comments are valued in this community since they consistently get upvoted. You can see my average on the leaderboard. Just so you know where I'm coming from. I'm sorry to say, but eropple is right, you have a terrible attitude. It's obvious that you're a bright guy (or gal), and reading through your comments I'd say you definitely have something to contribute to HN. But the words often seem to come out the wrong way. You should think about that and try to do something about it, primarily for your own sake. The way the world works is that if you have a positive attitude, respect other people, take their arguments to heart and don't point fingers you'll be more successful and lead a happier life. I'm guessing you're not as old as me, so take this as friendly advice from an old man that has seen a lot of people and learnt a few things about how they work. I'll look forward to seeing some great comments from you in the future.
