I'm completely comfortable having a set of conversational values different from yours. I want people to engage critically with the meanings of people's utterances, whereas you are content to let them proceed rhetorically by exploiting on equivocations of the definitions of the words in the sentences.
Also, it seems to me that you're only against explicit shaming, as your closing remarks, situating my behavior as worse than the disease, is obviously, if impotently, meant to shame me implicitly. I hear your criticism, and I want to make very clear to you that I reject it on its schoolmarmy face.
That said, I hope your involvement in discussion on HN develops into something that interests me and other interesting people here, despite the lack of promise shown so far. Thank you for the downvote!
