What discussion? You know, when I told my dad how you guys took my karma away from me for making a joke about a post about something I should have as a reminder in the calendar on my phone, it really ruined his Father's Day. I think I might even have seen the beginning of a tear, but he manned-up and held it back.
- zimbabwe 17y agoI might forgive you for being an asshole if you were particularly witty about it, but you're not. You're sniping for no reason.
- rewind 17y agoI'm poking a little fun at these types of threads because let's face it, they have nothing to do with this site. And anyone who needs a Hacker News post to remind them when Fathers Day is and what its purpose is... is clearly missing the point of Fathers Day. Bottom line, I'm kidding around. You can give me the benefit of the doubt of making a little joke with no ill-intent... or you can call me an asshole. I'll leave it up to you to decide which is worse.
- zimbabwe 17y agoHeh. I called you an asshole in regard to your second post, not that original one. I actually agree with its intent: These posts are rather silly. But snarking about it wasn't the right thing to do, IMHO.
