Really? My perception is that "the HN crowd" is known for being pedantic know-it-alls criticizing every minute detail of anything. "Man-child" seems much more Slashdot/Reddit/Digg/4chan plus the rest of the internet.
- yen223 13y agoI like the irony of a person talking about pedantic know-it-alls, via a comment that dissects the exact meaning of the phrase "the HN crowd".
- angersock 13y agoIt's not irony--it's merely illustrating the point.
- dasil003 13y agoThere's nothing pedantic about it, what I'm saying is that's a gross mischaracterization, not a precise meaning that I'm subtly dissecting. If I wanted to be pedantic I would point out that even if your impression were correct it still wouldn't be ironic.
