- solomonb 4mo agoTo be fair the original commenter was incredibly snarky.
- defrost 4mo agoI had a similar thought and drew a distinction between snark about lines in the submitted article and snark directed at a fellow HN commenter. Both are discouraged, neither is great, the second following piling on and getting personal example is arguably worse. The disappointing part (for myself at least) was a failure to be explicit in how they felt the lay / lie usage should go and in what English speaking domains the preferred usages are.
