HN is chock full of self-righteous hall monitors. They usually don't progress to the point of calling the cops.
- maxerickson 11y agoCan you expand a little on how calling the police about something is more or less self righteous than doing the (at least somewhat dangerous) experiment on a public highway?
- SG- 11y agoNever talk to the police. At least in places like St-Louis and other cities with historically bad police departments (most of the US).
- sfafdsdf 11y agoIt's interesting how you view this issue. If the researchers are more self-righteous than the person calling in, it justifies the latter?
- maxerickson 11y agoNo, it just makes directing that line of criticism at the caller pretty inane.
- invisible_dust 11y agoHall monitors are the best way I could imagine these people being described as. I completely agree.
- notNow 11y agoIt's definitely elementary school stuff to snitch and play the informant on your colleagues. The worst thing that this was coming from an old fart stuckup who thinks that they could police every thing and everyone around them and act more royal than the king himself. Old habits die hard.
