I think you need to read the second sentence.
- 1718627440 2mo agoHis whole comment contains a view, that some people, including elected officials hold. I don't see an aspect, that actually hints, that he means that in a sarcastic way(, besides that he is on HN).
- mulr00ney 2mo ago"I have actually heard otherwise intelligent people say things just like that" I think that is the indicator.
- tiagod 2mo agoYou guys really need to finish reading the comments before you reply...
- 1718627440 2mo agoI did, and I still don't necessarily understand his comment that way.
- NotHereNotThere 2mo agoHis second sentence is "There's no legitimate use for someone who isn't trying to break the law." I'm not trying to break the law, I use it for my corporate usage, therefore it is legitimate use. What are you trying to say?
- latexr 2mo ago> What are you trying to say? Pretty sure they meant “second paragraph” instead of “second sentence”.
- gpvos 2mo agoYeah, that comment is a textbook example of failure to communicate.
- MSFT_Edging 2mo agoYeah, basically. To me it sounded like he was doing a sarcastic quote, then shutting that opinion down.
- f6v 2mo agoI think they're trying to say you need to read the whole comment before taking it apart.
