Yes, and expecting that no one will try my doorknob to see if I forgot to lock it is relying on security by obscurity, and if someone exploits my having forgotten to lock my door, both the exploit, and whatever harm comes to me by it, are entirely my own fault and no one else is liable.
- streetnigga 13y agoApologize for injecting insults and vitriol into this thread if wish for a contextual reply.
- tptacek 13y agoI know that when you're in the middle of an argument it feels like you're having a 1-1 conversation, but you're not: you're writing messages to everyone on HN. This kind of "apologize first" stuff is really boring. If you don't think the person you're talking to is arguing in good faith, stop responding to them.
- streetnigga 13y agoI only caught on about the bad faith after noticing several comments in a row that included insults or slights. You are right, best course is just to totally disengage.
