IMO Try not to mention breasts, it doesn't help your argument: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=909015 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=909015 and woefully still digging the hole: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=908944 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=908944 ---- Funny that another breast mentioning thread devolved into a a homophobic and antisemitic troll http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=909389 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=909389 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=913155 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=913155

  the article mentions topics not to mention. Like comparisons-to-Hitler. Mentioning breasts is a similar way to instantly lose an argument, and I provided some links to arguments that relied mentioned breasts and died. Did you follow any of the links?

    I did. I thought the people that brought up breasts won. I agreed with them, and they got lots of karma points. If that's losing, I want to lose.

      In a HN sense, you're right. I think (and I did say IMO) that they lost the arguments. One moron started abusing gays and jews (last link). Is that "winning" by your definition?

        > One moron started abusing gays and jews (last link). Is that "winning" by your definition? That wasn't the one that brought up the breasts though was it? The person that did made reasonable (if direct) points and obviously people agreed with them.... that sounds like "winning".

        What I said: Funny that another breast mentioning thread devolved into a a homophobic and antisemitic troll I didn't say it was the same person. So there were two morons working in tamden (kryo and Zarathu). You conveniently ignore the poor person[1] who replied to the first breasts comment. She didn't get any upvotes, but the aggressive first post did and the homophobic anti-semite managed to get an upvote. tianaco was so offended she wrote kryo, that was a really nasty, disparaging, and insensitive thing to write. You cast this nasty/insensitive as reasonable (if direct). ----------- [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=912851 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=912851 (tianaco)
