I want to explain why you are getting down-voted: Hacker News don't like onomatopoeias like “hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”. In general, a neutral tone is preferred and tongue-in-cheek is acceptable (like parent).
This is an important difference with most subreddits (some, like /r/AskHistorian have a similar ambiance); it avoids ending up with long, heated and shallow conversations.
- nocman 12y agoI'm not exactly new here. I figured some might not like the "hahaha...", but I don't really care. That's exactly what I did when I read the parent comment. I didn't just leave it at the onomatopoeia -- I made a very reasonable comment afterwards.
