While I think there are objectively bad comments, the attitude you're taking towards them may be a little unfair. People may have some opinions that are objectively wrong that can be repaired through allowing their comments to be seen and having us tell them why they're wrong.
- tptacek 14y agoI don't care what you think is fair. People who write or promote indefensibly stupid comments could be penalized, and doing so would probably make the site better. Paul Graham should try that (or try doing it more).
- samiur1204 14y agoWell, you come up with a way to identify "indefensibly stupid" comments, and then I'll get behind it.
- tptacek 14y agoLet's start with comments that start with "XXX is a jerk and YYY is a talentless shill".
- samiur1204 14y agoYea, that's totally fair. Unless we're talking about Rush Limbaugh or Justin Bieber.
- sarvinc 14y agoThis made me laugh!
- diminish 14y ago"yes, your last few comments and aggressive attitude do not seem to be bright from any angle. you are unfortunately unable to discuss reasonably. Your karma makes me afraid of HN in general; you must be penalized really, maybe get a karma cut by a factor of 100.", how does that make you feel? My point is that, attacks on comments and commentors are ad hominem, and wont work. PS: i didnt upvote this article and didnt find it any good. As regular HNer, I am just alarmed by opinions to walk into "fascism".
