This comment sums up what Hacker News has become perfectly.
Front and center is the sentence correcting some slight, inconsequential anachronism that has nothing to do with the overall point of the comment and only serves to show the perceived intelligence of helpfulness of the commenter. Then there is a short sentence, more of an afterthought, addressing the point of the comment.
- _yields 13y agothank you for saying this.
- wavefunction 13y agoWhy, you couldn't say it yourself?

- seiji 13y agoWell, have you met these people? It's common in work/life too. "You're smart and do good work, but stop being so pedantic and socially inept!" You can't break out deep thinking from the surface layer aspie absent-social-mindedness. Just smile, accept them for what they are without pitying them, and keep making the world a better place together.
- Gigablah 13y agoYou could start by not masking your condescension with some sort of vague higher purpose.
- wavefunction 13y agoMaybe I made a simple mistake of unintended rudeness in a post, how does that make it worthy of me being autistic? Fuck you douches!
