- frandroid 13y agoPosts gets voted on whether they're useful/interesting or not, not on topic or not. And then this post is on topic anyway, what with talking about how law develops, the relevancy of the article with actual experience in editing and the Somali community.
- melloclello 13y agoI thought it was insightful and interesting!
- simonebrunozzi 13y agoSam, tokenadult is by far my most favorite commenter on HN. In fact, I'm not alone. Huge karma. That is one reason. The other reason might be that a few people upvoted his comment, and that's why it's on top. Of course you might disagree with the ranking, but ranking is there to give us an idea of what the whole community thinks.
- SamReidHughes 13y agoI don't care if he's your favorite commenter. This comment of his is just a simulation of a cogent post. It's "rich with deeper meaning" that it's a Wikipedia article? Give me a break. You can sit there rattling about Wikipedia and deign to wish Somalis well all you want, but that has nothing to do with Xeer.
