  So the rationale is, if an opinion isn't thoroughly explained, it's better that nobody hear it, regardless of whether or not the opinion is valid or makes sense?

    Abrasive words require support to back them up. Otherwise you're just calling names.

    Yes, that's how HN works. As a reader, there's no way for me to evaluate a bare opinion. Should I believe it or not? Without any argument backing your opinion, it's just noise. See http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html
