  > Last I checked, one of the Hacker News rules The guidelines do have these points though: - Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. - Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead. - Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. - Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity. - Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Which, let's be honest, the top comment and majority of the responses violate these guidelines. I was quite surprised to see that that was the top comment. I would have never noticed until they pointed it out. Personally, I don't care and I'd rather read comments about the actual content of the article than talk about furries. They don't live rent free in my head.
