Your posts make me sad. Your replies are a bunch of empty verbiage that fail to acknowledge the very basic and concrete flaws in your posts (lack of evidence for your claims, arguing past the article by completely changing the locus of analysis). > Emotive critiques can easily be hate. Hate is an emotion, so hate-filled critiques like this one are quite emotive. What are you even trying to say here? This set of statements is so general and flat as to be almost totally devoid of content. > The way out of this is to spend as much of your energy as possible creating positive-sum things rather than in zero-sum struggle. I'm not sure what any of this has to do with you doing basic things like citing sources or understanding that human beings have negative emotions and that they sometimes need to express them. You sound like a Panglossian fool. I'm not really sure what to say at this point. You seem totally immunized against reason.

I realize both sides in this argument got unduly personal, but the attack you posted in this comment is particularly not ok. Please don't! We've had to ask you about this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47728150 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47728150. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be a frequent habit but please don't post like this.

Is this really the culture you wanna cultivate here? People wishing the worst for other families’ and all they get is a slap on the wrist and a “pretty please don’t do this again”? C’mon now.
